Forestry Tasmania, Burning Retained Large Trees
This analysis shows the devastating effects of retaining large trees and burning them when the surrounding landscape of logging waste is incinerated. In 2024 how does this pass as an acceptable practice for the trees and for our climate.
These large trees are 2.5m or greater in diameter and they are retained with the intention that they one day become giants.
Our report “Tasmania’s Forest Carbon” reveals that native forest logging is the biggest emitter of carbon in the state. Native forest logging in Tasmania emits more than the entire transport sector including domestic aviation.
END NATIVE FOREST LOGGING

In the early 1930s, before the construction of the water pipe from Kuprilya to Ntaria (Hermannsburg), the community at Ntaria (Hermannsburg) was suffering from the depression and drought. Many of the Aranda people would get their water from soakages in the Finke River bed and wells. This was not enough to resource the community. When I was growing up, I remember my grandmother taking me and my ...

I really wish enormous trees like this exsisted in the north east. Since they are essentially pine trees the snow shouldnt hurt them. Sadly it does. If you own a property grow a red wood of some kind like the dawn redwood or baud cyprus. You may not get to see it become a monster but in 300 years people will be able to enjoy the beautiful old tree.
This is terrible 😢
Anyone who works with such a self-destructive, degradative greedy parasitical industry, is not only just insane but stupid, They would make stupid people seem intelligent...
Just think.. Greta probably never planted one tree… there is a huge campaign to plant Redwoods all over the world now where the climate is the same as the North coast of California.. there are 180-200+ foot redwoods in England,
love the idea that the EPBC means anything (especially in the marine environment) when the fish farms are destroying the bodies of water they occupy. Yeah the exclusions are mind boggling but to pretend that the inclusions are having much of an effect it hilarious.
Awesome video Steve ! The photogrammetry shots turned out amazing
Stop whinging and get off your arse and plant some trees! Problem solved!
They don't care about the forest only money.
This idea that fire is a "natural" component of these rainforest areas is a TOTAL FIB. Aborigines set fires far above the background rate, and modern fire suppression (really, managing unintentional human-caused fires) has allowed natural landscape to reestablish in places like Fraser Island- but introducing hot fires deep into the rainforest will destroy it!
WTF!
JHC, Tasmanian woodlands are a great natural treasure. Alas, the logger moguls only see a quick buck to be made. Nobody makes any thing worth while with this wood. It's chipped and shipped off. It's pure ecocide.
'Forestry Tasmania' is a joke built for the profit of politicians and their mates.
Fuck me, this is insane.
Well there's the fact we have no jurisdiction in Tasmania
? Who's 'we'?
Ahh the old t/R ratio
Sure is beautiful country
Amen Thanks for this
It's interesting how you can twist positives into negatives and completely disregard half the info to make a story to suit your narrative. Take a look at the research on how lack of fire is far worse for the environment long term than having fire. Removal of older, unhealthy or damaged trees actually improves the health of the forest in general by removing breading grounds for destructive insects and disease. Canada is watching the health of their forests degrade over decades and science has largely attributed it to the act of not allowing regular fires to cleanse the environment. What may look "nicer" in the short term can be very damaging in the long term. An older, ailing population is not always a long term healthy population.
There is no binary "fire" and "lack of fire". These Tasmanian rainforest ecosystems do not normally see natural fire, and burning them destroys them. Moreover, in many forests, even where fire is more common, fire is rare and when it happens is seasonal, in the wet season during thunderstorms. Humans set fires far above the background rate, and they often do it, intentionally or not, during dry season when there would be no natural ignition source (lightning) and thus cause greater destruction than natural. Pointing to what the Aborigines did is not appropriate management either. Aborigines were responsible for converting rainforest into wet sclerophyll and wet sclerophyll into xeric parkland or grassland - in places like Fraser Island, rainforest is actually coming back under modern fire management, which presents a problem for some restricted distribution wet sclerophyll species that the Aborigines burned out of the mainland millennia ago!
That's normal backburning though, not clearcutting and burning the waste.
@@chir0pter although I agree with much of what you say, I must disagree on one point. As a firefighter of many years I can tell you that lightning ignited fires happen commonly and all year round, and much of it is from dry storms, summer, winter, spring and Autumn. The most damaging fires are the summer ones due to their excessive heat, but they are never planned fires.
@@barnysadventures "lightning ignited fires happen commonly and all year round" This actually totally depends on where you are. In some regions there is essentially no storm activity, dry or not, outside of the wet season. And every gradation and permutation in between.
@@chir0pter OK, now I know it is pointless talking anymore with you. Last time I checked we were not talking about Northern Australia. All of Tasmania can have lightning activity anytime of the year.
This just makes me furious
Very informative
Thank you Steve. Have you sent this vid to the ABC ? I hope you/we have some success.
Crap. That's all I have to say about that.
Even a 5 tonne excavator will compact the roots. It will take a few years before you start to see the die back but the tree is doomed. You see this effect in new development estates
ridiculously idiotic practice. Either massive stupidity or simply a lack of care from Tasmania forestry. Dear god that's a lot of co2 they're releasing with these brain dead burns.
It's both stupidity and a lack of care, one view shared between the greens and firefighters is that STT are a bunch of carefree cowboys.
Thanks for bringing this hidden issue to light. It's time the Tasmanian government found more sustainable sources of economic revenue.
If theyre gonna rip up the land they might as well be putting in water harvesting earthworks for the long term fire mitigation
How terrible what fecken amateurs👹
Environmental Pests👎👎
I would like to see that crossed with the Eucalyptus deglupta - it would be a great hybrid has it already been done???????
Problem is its government owned. Make the most of what we got now because its the last . I cant see a healthy world 200 years from now with population growth.... Anyway on a bright note enjoy what we have and gaurd it because those big trees bring in big bucks.
I thought E.R. was being wiped out by disease.
When I use the Tachyon Ash in a Hitch climber Pulley system, there is a lot of sheath movement on this rope.
Another ripper. Encore !
That's insane. Don't know how I missed this video but it's an insane process!
A state election is coming up. We need to confront the politicians with these facts.
We also need to take excerpt of this video and have it played on rotation at the Hobart and Launceston airports.
What someone needs to do is start a tall trees tourist drive. We need a tourist bus to meet each cruise ship at Hobart and start showing the world what we have so the Tasmanian government will know what we have.
Woah, sick!
Strawbale homes not trees
Worst tree to plant in suburban environments

Whenever big economic interests are at odds with the earth, there’s **an** argument for it, albeit not a great one. Coal miners will point out the number of jobs, the impact of the product on industry and the enormous wealth it produces (for somebody). Clear fell cutting can’t even offer a sham justification for its existence. The industry in Tasmania is in the hundreds of millions. Compared to mining, fishing, agriculture and other things that have no alternative (ie. you can’t refish the ocean like you can replant existing plantations), Tassie old growth destruction isn’t a huge employer and numbers in the hundreds of millions of dollars of output. That’s a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the economy and even more pathetic when you understand existing plantations produce more economic output. For something so small to be at odds with the overwhelming majority of good people, had they been aware of it, is pure corruption. Its real output is measured in spite.
Can’t watch anymore it upsets me too much
