Healesville Forest Forum: Stories, Science & Fire in the Yarra Ranges
If you have ever stood amongst the towering trees of the Yarra Ranges and felt the weight of their history, you won’t want to miss this upcoming evening in Healesville. The Healesville Forest Forum is bringing together a unique blend of film, science, and community conversation to look closely at the land we call home.
Hosted at The Memo on the Maroondah Highway, this event promises a deep dive into the complex relationship between our forests and the people who protect them. You’ll explore vital themes including forest protection, the importance of cultural knowledge, the realities of fire, and what the future holds for the Yarra Ranges.
The evening is designed to be more than just a lecture. By weaving together scientific insight with powerful storytelling and film, organizers Lewi Haskins and Warburton Environment aim to spark meaningful dialogue within our community. It is a rare opportunity to sit down with neighbours and experts to discuss the environmental heartbeat of our region.
You’ll find the forum held from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM on August 13, 2026. Whether you are a long-term local or a visitor with a passion for the natural world, the session offers a space to listen, learn, and connect with the science and stories that shape our landscape.
The Memo is a central spot in Healesville, easily accessible if you’re coming from Warburton or driving up from Melbourne. It’s the perfect setting for an evening of thoughtful discussion and local engagement.
Because this event is expected to draw a dedicated crowd, booking is required to secure your spot.
