Other maps included with this plan are Locality, Forest Type and Roading. Description of Proposal Harvesting of native forest Harvesting of native forest, using Single Tree Selection Silviculture subject to the Southern Region, IFOA requirements will be undertaken within this planning unit. Road construction will be licensed under the EPL. Harvesting will not be licensed under the EPL. The primary product of the harvesting is high quality large sawlogs (quota logs), small high quality sawlogs, veneer logs, girders, poles & piles where timber markets are available. Parts of felled logs that do not meet high quality log specifications are segregated and graded into other classifications such as salvage sawlogs, pulp logs & miscellaneous timbers e.g. split & round posts, firewood, mining timbers & craftwood. The availability of miscellaneous timbers depends mainly on forest types, log defectiveness & market conditions at the time of harvesting. Clause 22 – Integrated Forestry Operations Approval (IFOA) Consideration All relevant factors have been reviewed taking into account the volume and monetary value of each forest product to supply Term Agreement Holders. The harvesting operation also complies with Clause 22 of the IFOA. Attachment 1: Site Safety Plan prescribes safety requirements and Medical Emergency Evacuation Plan for this harvesting operation. Attachment 2: Roading plan prescribes roading requirements for this harvesting operation. Appendix 3: Details prescribed burning requirements for the harvesting operation.

Continued impacts from flooding, heavy rain and strong wind events have meant we have had to return to many roads and trails, which had been finished, to re-clear fallen trees, and re-establish drains, culverts, surfaces and crossings. Our ongoing priority is to make all our facilities safe and serviceable for visitors before they are re-opened. Below is a snapshot of where our roadworks is currently at: Park / Reserve km completed km to be co mpleted Deua Nationa l Park 15 4 157 Monga National Park / 57 68 Monga SCA Biamanga National Park / 21 94 Murra h Flora R eserve Wadbilliga National Park 62 119 Kooraban National Park 59 30 Gulaga National Park 12 0 Deua, Monga, Biamanga, and Wadbilliga National Parks and Monga State Conservation Area and Murrah Flora Reserve still remain closed .

  • Appendix: Classification of Escarpment Parks Access Submissions
    Appendix: Classification of Escarpment Parks Access Submissions About this report 63 submissions were made to the Far South Coast Escarpment Parks Access Discussion Paper (May 2004). Submissions were made online, through email or in hard copy. All submissions (and content) were entered into a database, assigned a number and then comments within each submission classified according to the Sections of the Paper. This appendix contains the comments from the submissions (unmodified) classified according to the section of the paper and also showing the submission identification number. BACKGROUND, Context Submission# 343 Ambit claims were made at the forums by parties interested in maximising vehicular access for their own gratification. The Service seems to be making a big effort to accommodate them. NPA regards this as inappropriate in the context of national park management, for reasons which will be explained below. Submission# 363 As a keen trail-rider and a member of the DSMRA I was pleased to note that the discussion paper considered the interests of trail-riders. The DSMRA ACT branch runs rides regularly that traverse through the National Parks on the Far South Coast. Submission# 391 Thanks for the opportunity to comment on your access management plans for the Far South Coast Escarpment Parks. My special interest is Monga National Park, which I worked to establish for over 30 years, which I know intimately and where I often walk. I am pleased with some developments in Monga, such as the picnic areas and Penance Grove Boardwalk, but I am not entirely happy with your plans for it and management so far.

Hyman1 , Shane T. Ahyong1,2 , Frank Köhler1 , Shane F. McEvey1 , Graham Milledge1 , Chris A. M. Reid1 , Jodi J. L. Rowley1,2 1 Australian Museum Research Institute, Australian Museum, 1 William St, Sydney NSW 2010, Australia 2 School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of New South Wales, Kensington, NSW 2052, Australia Abstract. We analyse expert-confirmed occurrence records from the collection of the Australian Museum of altogether 733 species of invertebrates that exhibit a wide range of life history strategies, dispersal abilities and ecological adaptations (dung beetles, spiny freshwater crayfishes, drosophilid flies, land snails, mygalomorph and archaeid spiders). For 29 species (two dung beetles, four species of spiny freshwater crayfishes, four drosophilid flies, 11 land snails, five mygalomorph and three archaeid spiders), all known occurrences are within the extent of the 2019–2020 bushfires. In addition, the ranges of another 46 species had at least half of their known occurrences completely contained within the fire zone. Given these figures, the conservation status of many NSW species may require revision to recognize the higher level of threat, and active conservation actions will need to be taken to ensure the survival of these and other species.

  • Monga National Park Field Meeting, April 2012
    Monga National Park field meeting, April 2012 It was a fine but chilly morning when we met at Batemans Bay to plan our day, and I could see mist shrouding the top of the mountain as we set off up the Clyde. We reassembled at Dasyurus Picnic Area in Monga National Park where, Adrienne informed us, it was 8 degrees, compared with 13 degrees at the bottom of the Clyde. A fine misty rain fell, so we put on our raincoats and walked to the start of the Corn Trail. After the recent rain, the Mongarlowe River was flowing well and the stepping stones across the river were under water. We considered crossing but decided not to risk getting wet and even cooler. We started to walk up the track that led back to the road and Ian, borrowing the phrasing of the well known poem “The Man from Snowy River”, remarked “There was movement in the tree- tops, coz the natural history herd had come to Monga forest – they were looking for a bird.” It seemed an appropriate choice for Ian as he wore a three-quarter length raincoat. The mist lifted and the sun began to break through, which seemed to stir the birds. We discussed a call – was it a Grey Currawong, a Grey Shrike-thrush or a Crimson Rosella? A little later, after some searching, Dianne spotted some large birds near the tops of the trees and we saw three Grey Currawong; they were a beautiful shade of steel grey and quite distinct from their more regularly observed cousins.
