    Default Tasmania's Forests

    There is a new news article on the recent history of logging in Tasmania's old growth forests and the practices of Gunns Ltd and the Lennon government. http://www.tamarpulpmill.info/flanagan.pdf The ongoing debate over Tassie's forests has strong implications for woodworkers and supply of specialty timbers. cheeeers John

    Thanks reeves,

    Shocking business. I was there recently (see my 'whats going on in Tasmania' thread) and it's a beautiful place. Well, those bits that haven't been trashed are, anyway.
