platypus Posted August 15, 2016 Share #1  Posted August 15, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) The South East Forests National Park, New South Wales. Australia.  The current practice of logging and then burning sections of an old growth hardwood forest is sad to see, particularly as it is happening in a National Park. Burning-off these areas has absolutely nothing to do with summer bushfire mitigation and it is generating a great deal of smoke pollution.  M9 and 28/2.8 Elmarit   Welcome, dear visitor!

Iduna Posted August 15, 2016 Share #2 Â Posted August 15, 2016 Dee, oh, very dreadful and dramatic! What a ghostly scenery! With your background Information I feel very uneasy. The picture is showing drama, many details and a wide range of those pastellic colour and one can feel the dense smoke of a dying forest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northwest Wanderer Posted August 15, 2016 Share #5 Â Posted August 15, 2016 Eerie image. One has to wonder if such burning is necessary. We have these burns here also. I think money and politics comes into play. So sad to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share #6  Posted August 15, 2016 As these trees are eucalypts they regenerate madly after fire....those few that remain from logging operations. With spring coming and, given a few months to recover, the logged and burnt area will look like this. However the forest floor will be a mess of weeds, trashed timber and stumps rather than the lovely, diverse natural vegetation of ferns and bracken and assorted native flora species such as wattle.....and the animals and birds, what of them?  Welcome, dear visitor!

Northwest Wanderer Posted August 17, 2016 Share #7 Â Posted August 17, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Logging is a major industry in my region. I don't like the idea that they can just leave the stumps after removing the rest of the tree. They say the forest regenerates to normal but I see nothing normal about sawed off tree stumps left in place for years to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share #8 Â Posted August 18, 2016 I agree Bill, particularly as I have just read the new and quite amazing book "Barkskin" by Annie Proulx. So sad and thought provoking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
