G’day fellas,

We completed our stage 1 hazard reduction burn at Lidsdale State Forest last week. The burn was reasonably successful, but there are still patches of unburnt land. As always happens at a fire some trees were burnt enough to make them dangerous. Many of these trees fell during the burn; some have not fallen, and may not for some time. I have assessed the burn this week; after strong winds on Monday and Tuesday I believe that those trees that would fall as a result of the fire have already fallen. However, branches or partially burnt trees can remain dangerous if hung up in neighbouring trees, and may still fall without warning.

I have re-opened the roads around the burn perimeter for public access.

Craig, I did not follow any of the MTB tracks within the block to assess for dangerous trees. Please advise your club members of the threat of dangerous trees.

Please call me if you have any questions.

Regards,

Dave Anderson | Fire & Stewardship Supervisor

Forestry Corporation of NSW | Northern Softwoods Region
