Starting at the Bellingen Community Markets at 10am (meet on the oval), the march will proceed up Church and Hyde streets to Forster's Garage (now People of Coffee) opposite the Federal Hotel.
Mayor Dominic King and ecologist Mark Graham will speak to the crowd, which will then march back down to the markets.
This event has been well planned and numbers of between 500 and 1000 people are expected to attend.
March organiser Mark Oliver said FOKH had strong factual evidence to support their case that the industrial logging planned will seriously affect the Kalang River water quality and security now and into the future.
"This operation would also threaten many vulnerable and endangered animals and plants living in these headwater forests including koalas," Mark said.
