"Bunnings sells timber sourced from NSW Forestry Corporation via a number of local suppliers."
"The state-owned forestry corporation has been convicted of more than a dozen environmental offences and is facing charges on dozens more. A judgment in the land and environment court last year found the agency was likely to reoffend and had poor prospects of rehabilitation."
"But The Wilderness Society (TWS) complaint raises concerns that the agency has retained this certification, despite its convictions for environmental offences."
"Prof David Heilpern, a former magistrate and the dean of law at Southern Cross University who has likened the NSW forestry agency to a “criminal organisation”, said he hoped the TWS complaint would be taken seriously."
“It arises from the unprecedented situation where a government supplier of a product has been convicted of a series of offences relating to illegal activities on public land."

Drinking Water for Millions Is Threatened as Trump Targets National Monuments
About 83 percent of water passing through public lands has no other protection besides the monument designations. -
In news of the absurd…
#Trump admin says #WhiteHouse #ballroom construction is a matter of #NationalSecurity
The Trump admin said in a court filing Monday that the president’s White House ballroom construction project must continue for unexplained national security reasons & because a preservationists’ organization that wants it stopped has no standing to sue.

Whether you are hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Aprk, the Cohutta Wilderness of Georgia, or the Alleghenies of Pennsylvania, you’re probably going to run across some evidence of human civilization, even in deep forest that has been protected for 100+ years.

It would be hard to think of a worse choice for BLM director than Steve Pearce. If his oil industry ties and voting record weren't enough to disqualify him from managing over 200 million acres of your land, his history of siding with violent extremists should be.
From Malheur to January 6th, Pearce has consistently embraced anti-government extremism to protect oil, gas and cattle interests.
Everyone with a Senator, but especially those with one who sits on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee — this one is worth a call.

In September, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (Georgia DNR) announced that the 65th gopher tortoise population (minimum of 250 individuals) had been permanently protected on a 1,210-acre conservation easement in Turner and Crisp counties.
Protection of the 65th population has been a long-time goal of the Georgia Gopher Tortoise Conservation Initiative, which was formed in 2015 as a […]

Oregonians could soon have less input on more than half the land in the state
People have until Monday to comment on a Trump administration proposal to drastically limit public input on logging in Oregon and Washington.

@Qldaah Turning public beaches into cash cows for private operators, where’s the benefit to Australia? Locals lose access, the environment cops the damage, and some developer pockets the profits. Monetising public land with no return to the public is a racket, not policy.

So the plan is to “ease parking pressure for parents”… and then what? Hand over public land so a private school can eventually expand and develop it too? Classic case of privatisation by stealth. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
