Two mature Eucalypt trees on Mount Mee are due to be cut down by the Department of Transport and Main Roads. 

Are the trees still standing?

Yes

Native Habitat At Risk

Standing strong, adjacent to Lewington Road on Kabi Kabi Country alongside Jinibara Country, trees to be cut down include two mature eucalypts that are habitat for koalas, gliders, native birds, and insects.

Locals have observed the trees' hollow branch nesting sites being utilised by a range of native birdlife. Habitat loss is a major threat to these species.

The trees play a critical role in the local ecosystem, offer a range of benefits including reducing erosion, and add to the natural beauty of Mount Mee.

With a history of logging and clearing on the mountain, trees of this age and size are rare in the area. They are cherished by many in the local community, who want to protect biodiversity and avoid further environmental destruction.

Act Now

  • Contact Department of Transport and Main Roads

    Local residents are concerned about the condition of Mount Mee Road, respectfully acknowledge past tragic accidents, and believe that the two trees have not been the cause of any traffic incidents.

    Demand road safety improvements without environmental damage.
