Did you know that Bunnings clearfell logs in Western Australia's old-growth Jarrah and Karri forests, controlling every stage of the process from the felling of trees to selling the resulting timber and woodchips?
You can send a powerful message to Bunnings by choosing one of the easy alternatives to shopping at Bunnings' hardware stores.
You can choose to Buy-pass Bunnings and shop at other hardware stores such as Thrifty Link, Home Hardware and Mitre 10.
... but no matter where you shop, please choose environmentally friendly timber. Avoid tropical rainforest and native forest timbers such as Victorian Ash, Mountain Ash, Jarrah, Messmate, Cypress Pine, Blackwood, Tasmanian Oak, Brushbox,. Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, Merbau, Meranti, Western Red Cedar, and US Oregon.
Investigate these alternatives:
Every day, Bunnings logs the equivalent of 26 MCG football fields
of Western Australia's native forests. Existing tree plantations now produce
so much timber that we no longer need to log old-growth forests to meet
our timber needs. Express your opinion of Bunnings' logging operations
through your individual choice as a consumer and help promote a healthy,
sustainable timber industry.
