Re: Felling technique Owner of a private house (numerous houses there back right into the forest) evidence suggests this is not the first time he's done it felled a selection of trees to give views from the veranda of Surfers up the coast...the stumps suggest the same technique (or lack thereof) as described by Pigdog, triangle of wood left on stump (most)
Hopefully the bloke will go big time $$'s even jail time (ok thats a distant hope!) His actions have prevent State Forestry from being able to burn through there 2yrs now the fuel loads are pretty damn high....if I were one of is neoghbours I'd be getting a legal letter drawn up referring to the increased risk to all persons and property as a result of the legal process his criminal action has started and therefore held up forest managment....if they get a fire (ok not likely right now!!! Mega rain!) those other houses will burn to the ground.
