Forests aren’t furnace fodder
The use of native forest wood as biomass to be burnt to produce electricity is an increasing threat. The Forest Products Commission has prepared a contract to sell up to 400,000 tonnes a year of jarrah and marri logs to a power station. Just as woodchipping was foisted on an unsuspecting public in the 1970s on the pretext of using ‘waste’, the proponents of native forest biomass are spreading the same misinformation. If there was no logging, there would be no ‘waste’.
CCWA strongly opposes this misuse of our forests and with like-minded groups is working towards its goal of ending all logging of native forests. Your donation will help bring this about.
