WOODCHIPPING AND THE RECESSION
Every day the woodchipping industry is shut down saves up to 3,000 trees and the wildlife that those trees support.
The global downturn is hitting the paper/woodchip industry very hard. At Easter 2009, the chipmill announced it would close for almost 3 weeks, longer than the national shutdown of 10 days.

NIPPON PAPER
PURCHASE OF AUSTRALIAN PAPER MILLS
On February 16 2009 the owner of the Eden chipmill, Nippon Paper Group Inc said it would pay $A600 million for Australian Paper (PaperlinX) and up to A$100 million more based on performance over three years to June 2012.
PaperlinX has paper mills in Maryvale (Victoria) and Shoalhaven (NSW). This could have far reaching implications for the SE Australian woodchipping industry.

 

The Victorian bushfires are an immense tragedy for people, wildlife, domestic animals and the bush. They have also been used to undermine the truth. Logging activists and conservative politicians have blamed "greenies"  for the fires. Consider these facts

PETER GARRETT IN BED WITH WOODCHIPPERS
World's best practice sellout, Peter Garrett comes face to face with a live art installation depicting himself in bed with a logger on an electioneering visit to Bega on 2 August 2007. Unfair? Well, on the same night, he had dinner with Eden woodchip mill General Manager, Peter Mitchell and Corporate Affairs Manager, Vince Phillips.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF WOODCHIPPING INDUSTRY REVEALS HUGE SUBSIDIES
A new financial analysis of the woodchipping industry exposes huge NSW taxpayer subsidies. Terry Digwood's new submission to the NSW Treasury on pulpwood royalties reveals figures that the official documents don't want you to know. Click
CHIPMILL BLOCKADE APRIL 2007 Focus on Global Warming
We blockaded the  chipmill at Eden  for over 11 hours to highlight the  woodchipping industry as a generator of greenhouse gasses.
During the blockade, Mr Peter Rutherford, Forestry Manager of SEFE unsuccessfully attempted to invoke a 2005 Supreme Court injunction against a group of 8 Wandella forest activists which sought to prevent them from blockading the logging company, Bruce Mathie and Sons. Mr Rutherford arrived at the blockade site with a Mathie log truck under police escort, and driven by Mr Quentin Mathie.  The truck and driver remained present while Mr Rutherford read out the injunction.
With climate change upon us, we need these forests more than ever. It is no longer just a regional or even a national issue. It is a world wide concern.

YELLOW BELLIED GLIDER KILLED IN LOGGING
This is a dead Yellow Bellied Glider found smashed to death under branches of tree logged by Forests NSW in early July in Bago State Forest. These beautiful, harmless creatures are actually listed as Endangered under the NSW Threatened Species Act and Forests NSW are supposed to take measures to protect these animals. We should remember, though, that early ecological research on the impacts of woodchipping involved asking the loggers to count the dead bodies of animals like these at the end of the day's work.
