The Wire

Three threatened species have been found in areas of public redgum forests along the NSW-Victorian border – in areas where logging operations had been given the go ahead. The Land and Environment Court ordered Forests NSW to allow the experts from the National Parks Association of NSW into the redgum forests, which lie along the Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers. Andrew Cox is the Executive Officer of the National Parks Association, and he fears that Forests NSW failed to adequately assess the impact of logging on the area.
