An arborist has confirmed that a birthing tree in western Victoria sacred to the Djab Wurrung people has been poisoned.
Key points:
The Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation says the "despicable" act is a "clear attack" on the community
The corporation is offering $10,000 for information that leads to prosecution over the matter
The Western Highway duplication project is on hold while a cultural management plan is prepared
The arborist determined the poison was applied via three holes cut into the tree, which had its trunk was spray-painted with the words "build the road", between Thursday, August 10 and Friday, August 11.
