[Huon Forests] Help with Gunns20 case

[Adam Burling]

The Huon Valley Environment Centre (HVEC) is embarking on one of its largest
campaigns ever. Starting on the 2nd Feb 2010, the HVEC will be defending
itself from a legal attack by Gunns Ltd in a Victorian Supreme Court trial,
as part of the Gunns20 case.



 For more than nine years HVEC has been at the forefront of the defence of
Tasmania's wild southern forests, with the threatened wilderness of the Weld
Valley as a focal point. Our work is now under threat as Gunns Ltd is
seeking damages and a share in more than 3million dollars in their costs.



We need your help.  Huon Valley Environment Centre is asking for your
donations to fund expenses including accommodation, travel, communications,
telephone, computer and video. Our treasurer and co-founder Jenny Weber will
represent the Centre at court. I am a defendant also and will be fighting
Gunns Ltd in separate allegations. The case is estimated to last for 20
court days.



Gunns Ltd, a billion dollar company who log and woodchip ancient forests in
Tasmania, have sued more than 33 people, ranging from politicians, film
makers, grandmothers and community campaigners. Your support, no matter how
little, will go a long way to make sure these corporate bullies do not win.
We will not be silenced, with your support we will continue to defend
Tasmania’s ancient wilderness forests.
