Environmental activists were out in force today, airing concerns about the impacts of logging on the Mid North Coast.
Speaking at the event, Greens candidate for Cowper Carol Vernon called for an end to harvesting of all native forest, as well as unsustainable logging practices.
“At the moment, they’re logging very small trees because they’re going in too frequently, to try and fulfill contracts that should never have been filled in the first place,” she said.
The event in Port Macquarie coincided with the International Day of Forests.
