January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/College Creek: Massive clearfelling continuing in site of National Conservation Significance inside Rainforest Reserve.

January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/College Creek: Massive clearfelling continuing in heart of National Conservation Significance inside Rainforest Reserve. Forest Stewardship Council supports such logging.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/College Creek: How many stag trees have been destroyed by Hancock at College Creek? Hundreds? Retained old growth such as the trees in this image will also most likely not survive impacts of such clearfelling.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Morwell River Catchment/Grey Gum Track: One of the first coupes logged inside the Cores and Links Rainforest Reserve was Gray Gum Track in late 2006. 4 years later it appears that widespread spraying of regenerating Silver Wattle is occurring. For what reason?
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Morwell River Catchment/Grey Gum Track: More young silver wattle poisoned in what is supposed to be a rainforest reserve.

January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Morwell River Catchment/Grey Gum Track: Clumps of silver wattle likely to be poisoned are marked with blue markers, probably making identification easier for spray teams.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Morwell River Catchment/Grey Gum Track: 4 year old regeneration inside rainforest reserve.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Morwell River Catchment/ContortaTrack: The trees at this area were set aside by previous Hancock managers as koala habitat. Current Hancock practice is obviously to wipe out koala habitat. How can the community trust this company?
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Morwell River Catchment/ContortaTrack: Key koala habitat wiped out by Hancock when community back was turned.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Jack River Catchment/Dubois Track: Image looking east into eastern side of Jack River. All of the trees in this photo were previously protected in October 2006. Now Hancock plans to log them.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Jack River Catchment/Dubois Track: Looking east. On the left hand side of the track is the Cores and Links Rainforest Reserve, which supposedly will be allowed to regenerate naturally. On the right hand side is Shining Gum outside of the reserve which if course will be clearfelled in the future.

January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Jack River Catchment: Recent logging on the western side of Jack River inside rainforest reserve.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Jack River Catchment: This photo shows one the type of forest being destroyed by Hancock under the guise of plantation logging.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Jack River Catchment: Clearfelling in a rainforest reserve.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Jack River Catchment: O'Callaghans Road has recently been dosed with herbicides. This image shows the spraying around a small dam. Hancock perviously promised people that they would only being spraying for blackberries in the rainforest reserve. Then why here?
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Jack River Catchment: O'Callaghans Road has recently been dosed with herbicides. Spraying of native vegetation.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Jack River Catchment: O'Callaghans Road. What blackberries?
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Franklin River Catchment: Inside the Cores and Links Rainforest Reserve. These trees are doomed.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Franklin River Catchment: More clearfelling in site previously protected by the State Government.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Franklin River Catchment: Extraction Track inside rainforest reserve. This is how Hancock tread with care inside rainforest reserve.

January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Franklin River Catchment: Removal of small stands of pine has also occurred inside rainforest reserve.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Franklin River Catchment: More logging carnage.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Franklin River Catchment: View looking south into rainforest reserve. All of the Mt Ash in this photo were supposedly protected by the State Government in October 2006. Now they will be destroyed.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Turtons Creek Catchment: Shining gum plantations recently planted on one side of Asplenslip Track. Cores and Links rainforest reserve on the other.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Jack River Catchment: Dead nitens plantations. Expect massive shortfalls due to this experiment in the future. Shining Gum are not indigenous to the Strzelecki Ranges.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Morwell River Catchment: How old is this Eucalyptus nitens? About 10 years old. Ready for clearfelling in 4 years! Hardly a pulp log.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Turtons Creek Catchment: Recent clearfelling of pine in headwaters of this water supply.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Turtons Creek Catchment: Logging near Zig Zag Track just outside cores and links rainforest reserve.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Turtons Creek Catchment: Most of the Mt Ash of the Strzeleckis has been converted to Shining Gum over the past decade. Young nitens on right side of photo, 30 year old regnans on the left. Conversion.
January 2011: Strzelecki Ranges/Antonio Creek Catchment: Dogwood growing inside pine plantation. Likely to be sprayed soon.
