NEW! Woodchipping & the recession

The South East Fibre Exports chipmill at Eden, NSW exported one million tonnes of woodchips last year, but Australia has enough plantation hardwood to replace this devastation of natural forest. We don’t need native forest woodchipping.
No State Forest between Ulladulla in NSW and Bairnsdale in Victoria is safe while the chipmill continues to operate.
It does not use wastewood; it only uses whole trees.
Forests are clear felled for the sole purpose of chipping and exported, mostly to Japan, to be made into paper.
Every tree felled was once home to hundreds of forest dwelling creatures, some facing regional extinction due to woodchipping.
Worse still, NSW and Victorian taxpayers subsidise this unnecessary industry through below market prices for trees.

no climate protection without forest protection

Until 1 October 2003, the owner of the Eden chipmill, South East Fibre Exports was known as Harris-Daishowa (Aust) Pty Ltd.
