	The Wilderness Society - History of the Franklin River Campaign 1976-83
		The genesis of the Franklin Campaign was the campaign to save Lake Pedder (1966-1973), a campaign which was lost with the inundation of Lake Pedder in 1973.
		The HEC was opposed by a number of conservation groups, and after the Lake Pedder debate, the Tasmanian Wilderness Society was formed in 1976, at a meeting at the home of Bob Brown in Liffey, Northern Tasmania.
		The Society ran a strong 'vote for the Franklin' Campaign, involving full colour ads in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, and letterboxing hundreds of thousands of leaflets urging a vote for the ALP in the House of Representatives and the Democrats in the Senate.

		Located not far from Cathedral Grove, Franklin River had lucrative timber stands of what the logging industry calls "virgin growth." The ancient cedar trees cut down here were milled at the Red Band Shingle Mill in Port Alberni.
		The above left photo of a spar tree at Franklin River illustrates how effective this method was in deforesting entire landscapes.
		This irresponsible and destructive "guts and feathers" logging removes essential wind buffer in the valley, changes the hydrology of Cathedral Grove, destroys fish habitat and impacts the watershed which supplies drinking water to near by towns.
