Help make this a reality How the funds will be used The Great Forest National Park proposal has two main objectives. 1. Regional community outreach To enhance community engagement within the GFNP region. To achieve this we will be running consultation sessions with stakeholders - including many owners of local businesses in the area. We will also hold community awareness meetings in many townships across the region to facilitate discussion with communities living in the region. This will enable us to provide people with the scientific research behind the decision for the GFNP, answer questions and receive community feedback. Some of the funds raised will also be used to develop materials for education and communication ie. postcards and maps. 2. To increase awareness of the issue to the broader Australian public. To achieve this we will conduct an extensive online and social media campaign. A key component of this will be the creation of educational videos, including viral YouTube videos and distributing these online. We will engage the media to ensure traditional and mainstream channels are utilised, thus capturing traditional audiences that are lower online users. A contribution to the ongoing efforts of scientific research in the region will also be made to ensure the area will be backed by current research to further conserve the forests. Some funding will also be dedicated to an economic feasibility study. pozible/project/186590
