The ‘cut and kill’ keeps on keeping on!
We live in a sick part of the world.

Just contacts being honored with the permission of our environmentalists.

Sorry,  But i feel too sick to comment after having seen these photos.

Nice..

#5. Breathtaking images, shame the blurb is just emotive nonsense. Looks good to me. The show should roll on.

Music to my ears.
The bad news - some of these sustainable activities will cease by end March next year with Gunns withdrawal from NF.

The good news - harvesting and regeneration will continue in these forests to some degree thanks to our two other export woodchip businesses needing pulpwood, and other products still being required by non Gunns sawmills

Praise be. The show will roll on in some form.

#3, welcome to the world of people like Toni Collette. 

For those who don’t know the story, she famously said similar words when looking at a NW WA iron ore mine.  Then went off and started a multi-million dollar renovation on her Sydney home.

Maybe she uses wood fibre instead of steel in the concrete’s reinforcement?

Sometimes I yearn to be an emotional vacuum, a soul less being who could happily destroy what nature has created, perhaps derive endless pleasure from bullying behaviour, or simply squash those who offended me in some manner.

Perhaps that is a choice I make, perhaps life experience, perhaps a mixture of many things.

All I know is that visiting places like those I have photographed fills me with happiness, akin to sliding down the face of a Wilsons Headland lefthander and pulling up into the perfect barrel while dolphins laugh at me.

To witness so called sustainable forestry in action, is akin to sustainable mining in Queenstown.

Perhaps that is why forestry is now a billycart without wheels at the bottom of the hill.

I really like who I am and what I do.

Its me.

To be anything different would be a lie.

I live in a timber and metal home, drive a metal car that burns fossil fuels….even my camera is made from metal…..christ, I still use plastic bags….drag out the cross and call me jesus

Dave Groves, your article photos strongly depict the urge held by some of our less than respectable earthen creatures, to go into maddening rages of slash and burn, to do all that they can, just to flatten the verdant hills and valleys of our wondrous gifted Beautiful Primeval Forested Wildernesses?

Then these of that mind-set are often to be seen swaggering in and out of the pubs of Tasmania, claiming they are doing this sort of thing to help keep alive some sort of bankrupting Industry in Tasmania?

The actual bottom line is not dissimilar to that of both of Tasmania’s Forest Slaughtering entities, (Forestry Tasmania and Gunns Ltd,) they are teetering on the brink of insolvency, making a whole heap of noise, creating much smoke, and issuings of multiple false statements.

Yet there are still those blind besotted brave-hearts who continue to deny the truths contained in so many of the people’s comments to this article?

Why is this so?
Whatever is the real situation underlying the failures of both of these covert foresting operators, it cannot be due to the huge burden of honest disclosures and principled conducts and actions?
