About WAFA
The WA Forest Alliance (WAFA) was formed in 1990 to provide an umbrella body for the many community environment organisations in Perth and throughout the South West that are concerned with forest conservation.
Currently WAFA has 20 member groups, most of them from the South West. Representatives of member bodies meet together as 'WAFA' every two months to exchange information and co-ordinate campaigns.
WAFA continues to highlight to government and the public the real alternatives for the South West and for the timber industry.
A socially, ecologically and economically sustainable wood products industry is possible if it is built around existing and future agro-forestry and plantation resources.
