TWO protesters this afternoon stopped a truck loaded with logs from leaving Sylvia Creek forest near Toolangi north of Healesville.
Police have been called to the Gun Barrel coupe where the two people have locked arms around the truck’s axle.
The coupe has been the site of a month-long series of protests by conservationists and local activists who fear continued logging will wipe out the remaining habitat of the endangered Leadbeater’s possum.
VicForests has stated that no Leadbeater’s possum habitat exists in the area.
Twelve people have so far been arrested in the past month at the coupe.
