Upper Florentine Valley

Logging has started but it's not too late to stop them from destroying it all.

Please, write to your government representative telling them to cease all old growth logging in Tasmania and Australia. Tell them you don't want your taxes spent on ruining the forests and releasing huge amounts of carbon into the atmosphere.



Forestry Tasmania is subsidised on a massive scale by the government (aka: tax payers money) to log. It's costing us huge amounts to have our ancient forests chopped down....all for $13 a ton of woodchips that they make. About 80% of what is taken from the Florentine this time will be chipped and when they replant there only about 20% of what grows in 80 years will be saw log, the rest will, again, be chipped.

they have it all wrong, what is the point to protect one tree when the rest of the forrest is under threat. You should go straight to the source of the problem, be an absolute pest out side of the parliament, that might help(as it helps other).
