Hi guys,
We have 600 acres in SE Tassie which we bought a year ago. Before us it was owned by a farmer and it seems that people took liberties on accessing it because they knew he didn't care. We've put up signs now saying private property, which has lessened this.
The issue is that someone has been cutting down trees and removing them. We can't completely lock off the land, as there is a right of way over the left boundary to other blocks and it is either side of this right of way that the trees are going missing. I don't believe it's for firewood, as there is heaps of dry timber on the ground so it's probably for fencing or other building materials.
We're looking at motion cameras at the start and finish of the right of way to keep track of who comes over it and how long it takes them to travel (ie if it's taking them too long then there's a fair chance they're stopping to take something on the way)- does anyone have any experience with these cameras and what brands to get/not get and how robust/hidable they are?
Any other input to try and reduce the likelyhood of more trees going missing/ catching those doing it would be great.
