Members of the Redbank Action Group will stage a protest on Friday morning outside the office of Hunter MP Dan Repacholi as part of the International Day of Action Against Biomass.
The protest coincides with the Federal Government's deadline for submissions on the use of native forest biomass to generate electricity.
The group claims a proposal to burn native forest timber to create electricity at the Redbank Power Station is more polluting than burning coal, destroys habitat and removes trees which help to reduce CO2 emissions.
They're calling on Dan Repacholi to push for legislation to ban the burning of biomass.
