The Forest Activist Network (FAN) is a loose collection of activists working on the NSW Forests Campaign. It was set up in 1998 when the NSW Forest Alliance realised that negotiations with the government were about to fail badly unless there was active network of grass roots forest activists in Sydney.
The Forest Activist Networks main role in the NSW Forests Campaign is to act as a grass roots link between the campaign and people concerned about the forests. To make sure activists have access to the resources, skills and information they need, support people in their roles as activists and help people to become more active. Basically to help people, learn how to help the forests.
This makes us slightly different to other groups whose core functions are to campaign around particular issues or areas.
