History
Save My Trees was formed in July 2009 to ensure that parties affected by recent Great Southern developments have a unified voice in dealing with the myriad of issues and seeking the best commercial outcomes for growers.
It is apparent to date that there are many individuals and organisations taking or considering separate legal action, which may be more beneficial if coordinated effectively. This avoids the possibility that individual efforts, however well intentioned, may be counter-productive to achieving the best outcome possible for all.
Game Plan
Our objectives are of significant scale and are not limited by sequential success.
UNITY is a key issue in being able to lobby politicians, government agencies, receivers, administrators, possible commercially interested parties and industry groups.
The Trees are our collective assets and we need to act intelligently to ensure that we are taking appropriate action, so that we do not have what is rightfully and morally ours, taken away from us for the benefit of others.
LEADERSHIP is key.
We are focused on gaining significant levels of support from growers, dealer groups, and other interested parties to enable us to have scale in working through lobbying and commercially viable options.
We also ask any industry groups (both forestry and financial), current or former employees of Great Southern and commercially interested parties to register their interest in supporting the protection of growers and obtaining a commercial outcome if possible.
There are no guarantees. However it is certain that if we are not coordinated, if we do not show UNITY, if we do not lobby, we will find ourselves subject to outcomes solely dictated by others who may have positive grower outcomes far from their primary focus.
