Ludlow Tuart forest

27/7/2018

The Ludlow Forest is the only naturally occurring Tall Tuart Forest in the world. The area has reduced from some 45,000 hectares to a current 3,000 hectares. Cattle grazing, timber harvesting, clearing for agriculture, plantation development, mining and infiltration of various debilitating threats have left the area in a degraded state.

The Ludlow Tuart Forest Restoration Group was established last year to ensure the preservation, restoration and protection of the forest and now has its own webpage.  Anyone wishing to join the group can now join online.

www.ludlowtuartforest.org.au

The Ludlow Tuart Forest is also adjacent to the internationally significant Vasse-Wonnerup Wetlands. The Wetlands are so crucial for water birds that they are recognised under the International Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.

On Sunday 30 September 2018 there is a seedling planting day and the group is inviting people along to the Ludlow Settlement to help. The day is open to all children, parents and friends. See website for more information.
