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

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.

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.

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

They got some balls even with the harness' s

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

Badger is definitely a nutter looking at that Ute way down below 😯

A beautiful tree, but the Jarrah is the more beautiful timber in my mind. Or perhaps the Salmon gum

Yep! Absolutely everywhere. And it depends where you draw your boundaries of south western Australia

I like trays. Especially when they serve as a buffa.

promo sm 🙌

You forgot to mention that the river redgums in Alice also provide the perfect habitat for the indigenous peoples to get Really Pissed with social welfare money, argue, fight, litter and tie up police, leagal, medical and correctional resources.
