Extract from Hansard [Assembly - Thursday 17 September 2009]
Grievance Mr Tony Simpson our local MLA : Mr Terry Redman Minister for Forestry
"...My grievance is about the FPC coming back into the Mundlimup coupe, which is less than a kilometre from the edge of Jarrahdale... "
This is the first of our Forest Threats ... Jarrahdale Forest Protectors is a group formed to save our jarrah. Jarrahdale is less than an hour from Perth. The fiorest of the 21st century will be valued most signficantly for their natural beauty, biodiversity, cultural and spritual benefits.
As Perth grows the benefits of our forest will become far more important than the meagre economic value that FPC put on our unique jarrah..... help us to save it.

About Me
- Save our Jarrah
- The environment and values of the Heritage Listed town of Jarrahdale face a number of threats from forest logging, forest thinning in the Wungong catchment, the return of bauxite mining and the prolonged closure of Gooralong Park. There have been a number of articles in our local papers and a public meeting convened by the Jarrahdale Heritage Society brought together over 90 people to hear how Jarrahdale could be affected. Speakers included concerned local residents as well as Beth Shultz from the Conservation Council and WA Forest Alliance and our MP Tony Simpson. As a result of the meeting the Jarrahdale Forest Protectors have been formed to preserve our forest heritage. Find out more about the Jarrahdale Forest Protectors: www.saveourjarrah.com.au
