First Nations forest defender Ruth Langford has applied for evidence in her trespass case to be heard on Aboriginal-owned land.

The Yorta Yorta/Dja Dja Wurrung woman was charged with two counts of trespass and one count of failure to comply with a request from an authorised officer following separate anti-logging protests on Tasmania's east coast and south last year.

Ms Langford was first arrested in January after refusing to leave native forests which were being logged in the Eastern Tiers Forest Reserve near Swansea.

Three months later in April, she was arrested at a yellow gum forest on the western side of the Mount Wellington range.

Following an adjournment last October, Ms Langford — who is self-representing in court following non-violent activism to protect Tasmania's native forests — has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

In the Hobart Magistrates Court on Friday she asked for the matter to be herd on Aboriginal-owned land at Risdon Cove, south of Hobart.

"I am asking the court to recognise that First Nations people have our own law, grounded in Country," Ms Langford said.

"Our cultural obligations guide how we live, how we connect to the land, water and skies, and how we care for it."

Ms Langford says before being arrested on both occasions she was fulfilling her cultural obligations under first law, with permission from senior Tasmanian Aboriginal law keeper, Uncle Jim Everett, to protect Country.

"Hearing evidence on Country would allow the court to properly understand those obligations, especially when that connection is central to the case," Ms Langford said.

"It can deepen understanding and strengthen the system - making it more responsive, more humane and a safer place for people to speak their truth."

Prosecutor Deanne Earley told the court she did not oppose the application.

"Currently [the] prosecution sees no reason to oppose an application that the court sit at a different location," she said, the ABC reports.

The chief magistrate said she would need time to consider whether to approve the on-Country court application in full, according to the ABC.

Ms Langford said she made the request "for my community and for future generations".

"The Magistrates Court now has an opportunity to provide a pathway for Palawa and Aboriginal family and community members to attend this hearing in a culturally safe environment where they can feel supported and properly understood," she said.

Advocates for Ms Langford said hearing the matter on Country would be a first for the Tasmanian justice system.

Following the hearing, Ms Langford said: "Let's hope that the decision she will pass down... actually is a step in the right direction for justice and a new way through that shows we can have institutions that can be considerate and caring and human".

The matter was adjourned until April 20 where the chief magistrate will decide on the location of the hearing scheduled for June 1 and 2.
