Camphor Laurel Strategy - Far North Coast Weeds - at bluecray environmental search engine
Endangered species habitat destroyed in the name of "clean fuel" - Camphor Laurels and old dead tree trunks (see the white trunks on LHS of photo?) - they look dead to me - are removed, via about 5 bulldozers, large mulching machinery, many cars, semi trailers of Camphor Laurel sawdust - operating about ten hours per day, 61/2 days per week. The National Parks and Wildlife service has been told that the Rufous Bettongs live in this area, and yet, the bioenergy people have come in and decimated the habitat. This "bioenergy" is one of the biggest myths in our current age. Better to use less, buy less, destroy less, and tread lightly. MW.
