| Message | We believe that the current provision accords enough protection to our forests. As the law requires a higher rate of tree plantation than replacement levels for all logging and clearance operations, limiting felling to fire breaks only is a head-in-the-clouds policy that ignores wood as a valuable natural resource. |

| Message | We support part one but feel part 2 goes too far |
