The state government has banned native logging. Here's what that means if you're building a home, stoking your home fire, or doing up your garden.

I remember filling out a government survey that fed into this policy change.

At the time i thought we could attempt to replace more than we plan to keep, for future generations to maintain a managed and steady supply of beautiful Jarrah and Karri wood without decimating the forests like has happened.

Was this just impossibly wishful thinking on my behalf?
