The Toolangi State Forest region in southern Australia extends from Mount Monda in the south up to Murrindindi in the north and includes the township of Toolangi. The forest is mainly Eucalypt forest that has regrown from the 1939 Victoria Bushfires. Large sections of the forest were also burnt in the 2009 Victorian Bushfires, although there are some pockets of old growth forest that have not been logged or seriously burnt. Notably, the forest provides habitat for the threatened Leadbeater's Possum.〔(Sending Leadbeater’s Possum down the road to extinction ), Professor David Lindenmayer, The Conversation, 14 December 2012〕 ==Kalatha Giant tree== After the Black Saturday bushfires of 2009, the Toolangi and Castella community proposed to construct a walk to the Kalatha Giant tree located at Kalatha Creek in the Toolangi State Forest. The Kalatha Giant Tree Walk Forest project was funded by the Victorian Bushfires Appeal Fund and was declared open by the federal Minister for the Environment, the Hon. Mark Butler, on 28 July, National Tree Day.〔(Leadbeater's Possum, Victoria's endangered Faunal Emblem )〕〔(Dig in for tree planting ), Mountain Views Mail〕 The Kalatha Giant, a mountain ash (''Eucalyptus regnans''), has striking buttressing and is the seventh largest tree in Victoria with a volume of 200 cubic metres, a girth of 13.85 metres and is 65.5 metres tall.〔(Landmark Trees )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Toolangi State Forest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
