Two arrested as Bulga locals fight against logging of native forests

Protesters at the frontline in Bulga are calling on the NSW State Government to come up with a plan to transition out of the unprofitable logging of native forests.

HUNTER Valley residents battling on the frontline against the state government's logging of native forests are celebrating a win following a temporary halt in operations at Bulga Forest.

Despite two arrests, that of veteran forest campaigner Susie Russel, a Bulga Plateau local, and Isla Lamont, who was hauled down from a bamboo tripod standing several metres high over the worksite's main access road, the temporary shutdown was cause for celebration.
