Surveying remnant vegetation inside the clear- felling zone at Tuckers Nob forest by Dr. Tim Cadman:
Mapping remnant vegetation with Avenza inside Tuckers Nob compartments 26 and 27 now zoned active, and to be logged. "More ringwoods, some lovely bloodwoods, an original tallowwood, and two patches of natural forest. All most likely to be converted to plantation, and sold as sustainable certified plantation."

Senseless killing of endangered gliders highlights the need to S T O P L O G G I N G glider habitat.
The Nature Conservation Council (NCC) of New South Wales provides a toolbox to watch, record and report destruction.
“Everything in this t o o l k i t is entirely legal. It offers concerned citizens with a tangible way they can p r o t e c t t h e f o r e s t s. Over the coming weeks and months, we will be working with groups on the ground to further support people prevent or report breaches illegal logging activity."
“The strategic use of citizen science was instrumental in the recent decision by the Victorian Government to e n d to native forest l o g g i n g by 2024."
T o o l s:
"NCC has been working with local environmentalists and scientists to develop a toolkit to help people from across NSW to monitor, report and stop illegal logging activities."
"Our Breach Watch website and handbook is designed to support people to survey a forest before it has been logged (both from home and in the field) report future of previous breaches to the EPA. This can lead to measures like ‘exclusion zones’ being implemented to protect critical habitats and species, and fines issues for egregious breached in logging conditions."

Australia’s environment must be given legal priority over land-clearing and logging to survive,

Nature in Australia is in desperate trouble
End broad-scale land clearing and native forest logging.
"Across the nation, 500,000 hectares or more of land are cleared annually.
For every 100 hectares of native woodland cleared,
about 2000 birds,
15,000 reptiles and
500 native mammals will die."
"Land clearing and native forest logging exacerbate climate change.."
"We urge you to commit, and act, to end broad-scale land clearing and native forest logging in this term of government. Ending extinction, limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius and reversing nature’s decline depends on it."
"The mission to recover nature can only be fully realised by respecting the rights and honouring the knowledge of First Peoples in land management and forest stewardship."

The case of the Bellingen's scenic swimming hole
Bellingen just smashed in a "$5.2M “gate way to the Promised Land” so that mass tourism can speed along the new 'highway' (Gleniffer Road) to the Never Never Creek. It is the town's main 'tourist destination' (but has no public toilet).
In January the Promised Land swimming hole near Bellingen recorded faecal contamination of water. "Council advised swimmers to stay out of the Never Never River.” Humans and dogs were blamed for the faecal matter. "It has been very popular over the holiday period and there are certainly indications that people have been using the riparian area there along the banks for toileting purposes”
