Massive Clearfell at doorstep of Three Capes Eco-tourist venture
Over a period of more than 30 years I have regularly walked to the spectacular Cape Pillar in what is now Tasman National Park, but not so long ago the start of the track was altered. It is now so very sad to see the terrible wound that has been inflicted on the original track, in the form of massive clearfelling of the forest. Clearly the forest industry has no heart and soul.
It seems ironic that an estimated $15 million is to be invested to create a Three Capes walk to attract eco-tourists and at the same time there is wholesale destruction of the land bordering the proposal.
The mass destruction of forests is not something that rates highly as an attraction to tourists.
