North Coast Environment Council

North Coast Environment Council president Jim Morrison has accused Forestry Corporation of New South Wales  of endangering lives and disregarding ecology. Kerry Smith reports.

The North Coast Environment Council (NCEC) has accused the NSW government of trying to keep the public in the dark about its proposals for logging on public land. The proposals include opening state forests to increased logging, zoning 140,000 hectares for clearfelling, removing the need to look for and protect most threatened species before logging, reducing stream buffers and allowing logging in old growth forest.
