The NSW Government has undertaken to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for Red Gum logging, but this will leave the River Red Gum forests outside the system that manages and protects forests in other districts. 

There is an urgent need for the NSW Government to begin a rapid assessment of the River Red Gum forests, with a view to creating National Parks to protect  these iconic wetland forests.
