This is rogue logging. Branded as 'storm clean up’, trees and habitats are being razed to create new fire breaks without clear reason. And it has no oversight.
Why? Because it comes under the guise of fire management. Even when it's done in forests that should be protected.
These machines have now moved to parts of the Wombat Forest that are supposed to become a park. We can't sit on our hands as more loopholes are exploited at the expense of our surviving forest and woodland habitats.
Ask the Premier, and member for Bendigo East, to legislate the promised central west parks and end this destruction - vnpa.org.au/action/centralwes...

This is clearfell logging. They want the vertical trees not the 3 year old fallen stuff. Barkstead, Wombat Creek Road and Osborne Road are all 4 hectare square traditional logging coupes. They shuffle a few fallen ones around but only ever wanted the big fat healthy ones. They leave so many branches on the ground that make a mockery of their claims to be mitigating fires. The fuel load is more not less after they leave. And VicForests operated at a loss of $105m over the past 2 years. So this makes no sense on any level. Criminal stuff and not a single column inch in our lobby-group owned media.

This wood is being sold on to be burnt in fireplaces and stoves. The government has extensive scientific and medical evidence on how harmful this wood smoke is, costing our community $billions in health and premature death costs alone. The carbon and methane released is also contributing to climate change. Rather than acting to reduce harm, our environment is being destroyed to perpetuate what is largely recreational lifestyle burning. Less than 10% of homes are using wood stoves in Melbourne where most Victorians live, yet this causes more than half the harmful toxic PM2.5 air pollution caused by humans, much more than motor vehicles, according to EPA Victoria. The Victorian Government should be acting on full and honest risk assessment rather than business as usual.
