This is the best summary I could come up with:
Environmental groups are calling on VicForests to abandon logging plans in the state's alpine region after endangered native plants were found near the earmarked sites.
VNPA's executive director Matt Ruchel said it was crucial that the plants were protected ahead of the end to native logging in Victoria on January 1, 2024.
The coupes can also be found on an interactive map in the Forest Information Portal run by Victoria's Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.
A VicForests spokesperson said the business had no current plans to conduct timber harvesting in the Mount Stirling area, and have declined to comment further.
In November 2022, the Supreme Court found that VicForests had failed to protect endangered gliders when logging in Gippsland and Central Victoria.
A response on behalf of Ms Stitt said the state was "making record investments into our biodiversity across Victoria, ensuring our precious animal and plant species are protected".
