Welcome to the Weld Valley Campaign's Online Home! The towering forests, deep gorges, spectacular waterfalls and wide open plains of the Weld River Valley in Tasmania's Southern Forests represent one of the finest remaining vestiges of pristine ecology in the State. Today, sadly, industrial forestry pushes into the virgin forests of the lower Weld Valley, while its head waters, beneath Mt Mueller, are protected in the Tasmania South West Wilderness World Heritage Area. For more than 5 years local, national and international activists have worked to protect the Weld from industrial destruction. Here you will find information about the continuing campaign.
