With drums and banners and plenty of passion, more than 500 people of all ages gathered in Bellingen on Saturday to protest plans to log compartments that abut the headwaters of the Kalang River.
They danced and chanted their way from the Market Park up the main street to gather at the old Forster’s garage site at the top of town (now known as People of Coffee).
There they listened to Bellingen Shire mayor Dominic King and ecologist Mark Graham talk about the importance of protecting the forest, whose diverse ecosystem contains endangered species and rich biodiversity.
