Despite constant reports that the turbidity levels in the Nymboida River after rain are too high to allow extraction to occur, we’ve never heard a complaint from either council about forestry practices, including their being leased for grazing. Even the announcement by Forests NSW in 2015, that they intended to undertake intensive logging of some forests, i.e., clear-felling, there was no complaint. Then again total silence in 2019 when the State Government changed the Integrated Forests Operations Approval, halving the width of buffer zones along all mapped gullies and creeks, allowing logging to occur to within 5m of smaller waterways.
In about 2016, with the endangered Phyllanthus now being smothered by Cat’s Claw once again, the Environment Department’s Saving our Species team became involved, providing funding to clear weeds from the immediate surrounds of the 4 known sub-populations at the site. This saw the Clarence environment Centre involved once again with its professional bush regeneration team contracted to carry out the work.
