Do you have an interest in the management of our local forests yet feel frustrated and helpless because your thoughts and ideas are not listened to? 

Are you concerned about the sometimes one sided debate on forest management issues conveyed by our environmental groups? 

Would you like to have your say concerning the future management of our forests? 

Then perhaps you should join the Friends of Mount Cole and the Pyrenees Ranges Inc. 

Membership of the Group is open to any person who supports the objectives of the Group, is prepared to comply with the Rules of the Friends of Mt Cole and the Pyrenees Ranges Inc., and pays the prescribed fee; the Group may reject a nomination for membership on the ground that its acceptance would be against the Group’s interests.

This newly formed group is about maintaining the current status of Mount Cole and The Pyrenees Ranges and also providing a single voice to the Department of Sustainability & Environment, local and state governments concerning management issues. The focus of our friends group is to allow access to all user groups and yet maintain this environmentally and ecologically sustainable icon for all of us to enjoy. 

As we look around our neighbouring forests such as The Grampians, Otways, Wombat and our Box Iron Bark areas, Mount Cole and the Pyrenees Ranges are the only remaining areas left with unrestricted access and we must all work together to ensure that the many generations to come are still able to enjoy this privilege. 

Before signing up please read our model rules and familiarise yourself with the objectives of this group. If you require further information please feel free to contact friendsofmountcole@gmail.com.
