State Forests not complying with threatened species licence
The North East Forest Alliance says their audit of timber harvesting in the Yabbra State Forest, west of Kyogle, revealed more than 50 breaches of forestry licensing conditions.
Greens MP Ian Cohen has called for an independent investigation of the breaches.
Steve Rayson from State Forests says their own investigations so far show there have been no breaches of threatened species requirements.
"Our preliminary investigations, which are still continuing, have not disclosed any breaches of the threatened species licence," he said.
"I mean we have done our absolute best to ensure compliance of those licence conditions as we always do and as I say, at this stage we haven't found any breaches of those licence conditions."
