Sumario:Winner of the Literary or Media Award Advancing Public Debate in the 2011 QLD Premier's Literary Awards and the People's Choice Award in the 2011 Victorian Premier's Literary AwardsFor many years, the Tasmanian wilderness has been the site of a fierce struggle. At stake is the future of old-growth forests. Loggers and police face off with protesters deep in the forest, while savage political games are played in the courts and parliaments. In Into the Woods, Anna Krien, armed with a notebook, a sleeping bag and a rusty sedan, ventures behind the battlelines to see what it is like to risk everyth.
