The night will include screenings of Tree Time Stories and Understorey to help raise awareness of the habitats of the South Coast.
A spokesperson for the event said the night was an opportunity to meet a diverse range of people who were working together to create a future for the “grand stately forests” of the Eurobodalla and beyond.
Indigenous elder Uncle Max Harrison features in the first film Tree Time Stories, which explores the hidden meanings that nature reveals through a strong connection with the Australian bushland.
Director David Gallam will talk about current issues facing Australia’s Forests before a screening of Understorey.
Produced in partnership with National Parks Association, the film is an amazing reflection of the fight for the South East forests through the end of the 20th Century.
Understory is highly commended for the skillful way that many different historical photos and film formats have been woven together to great effect.
“Residents have called for an immediate end to logging operations at Corunna, which links the sacred Gulaga Mountain to the ocean,” a spokesperson said.
“There is also general outrage at the government’s plans for future management of forests in New South Wales.
“With NSW state elections in March next year, these issues are being observed very closely.
“Residents are calling on the government to represent the needs and wishes of the community, not just Forest Corp and its customers.”
