MULTIPLE USE OF FORESTS. Sir William Schlich, a famous Professor of Forestry at Oxford University, stated nearly 50 years ago in his Manual of Forestry that the objectives of management of all forests can be brought under one of the two following headings :- " (1) The realization of indirect effects such as landscape beauty, preservation or amelioration of the climate, regulation of moisture, prevention of erosion, landslips and avalanches, preservation of game and hygienic effects. (2) The management of forests on economic principles such as the production of a definite class of produce, or the greatest possible quantity of it, or the best financial results." Schlich wrote that it is "the duty of the forester to see that these objects are realized to the fullest extent and in the most economic manner " and " in the majority of cases they (indirect benefits) can be produced in combination with economic working". Schlich's concept of management, now described by foresters as " multiple use management ", does not necessarily mean that every forest must be managed to achieve several objectives to an equal extent at all times. It simply means that notwithstanding an acknowledged primary aim of management it is the duty of the forester to realize any other benefits obtainable without prejudice to the main objective. This is wise use of natural resources-one of the definitions of conservation, almost a household word these days. The use, with assured continuity, of a natural resource is well described by another expression which originated in forestry-" sustained yield ". The more traditional objectives of forest management such as meeting the public demand for timber and other forest products, preservation of satisfactory water catchment conditions and erosion control are now being rivalled by sharply increasing requirements of the general public for outdoor recreation, preservation of habitats for fauna, unique biological ecotypes, and a variety of historical and scenic attractions. Forest recreation itself can be active such as hiking, ski-ing, camping and touring or the simple enjoyment of the beauty of landscape and forest in healthful environment. Evidence of the increasing attention being given to this type of forest use are the 89 forest parks, including four new parks this year, alpine reserves and scenic reserves totalling 63,716 acres of reserved forests where recreational and similar uses have been made the primary aim of management. These are shown on a map included as an appendix to this report. Achieving the ultimate in forest management is a complex matter, particularly in Victoria with a climate conducive to the spread of fire and unique vegetation susceptible to introduced insect and fungal attack. The pages that follow in this report give some indication of the organization established to care for and manage State forests and, to single out a particularly important aspect, the training of the field foresters and the specialists in such fields as ecology, environmental studies, biometrics, pathology, entomology and hydrology. Multi-purpose management is being applied by the Commission in reserved forests which occupy 10 per cent. of the land area of Victoria-a proportion which will substantially increase if the Commission's proposals for the dedication as reserved forest of portions of the uncommitted Crown lands are accepted. The unoccupied Crown lands mentioned comprise 15 per cent. of the State and are subject to the Commission's management only in respect of the forests contained thereon and only until the ultimate status of the land is determined. The suggestion has been made from time to time that 5 per cent. of the State should be set aside as National Parks and other similar reserves. It is perhaps timely to draw attention to the fact that the reserved forests, at this point in time comprising 10 per cent. of the State, are subject to multiple use management which embraces recreation and conservation. FORESTRY FINANCE. The Commission is concerned at continuing increases in the costs of supervision and protection of the State's forest assets, due mainly to factors beyond its control, mainly increases in wages. Reduction of the labour force of trained and experienced forestry personnel in many forest districts due to shortage of funds has led to a situation where there is little if any margin of safety should a major fire emergency occur in the summer months. 8 It has been necessary again this year, because of the inadequate provision of finance by means of Vote, for the Commission to supplement general expenses items to the extent of $172,979 from the Forestry Fund, a source of finance originally intended by Parliament for the maintenance and development of the forests. MANAGEMENT. FOREST AREA. The area of reserved forest at 30th June, 1970 was 5,656,671 acres, which is a net decrease of 13,338 acres in the year. Changes in the area of reserved forest were :- Excisions under Forests Act 1958- Acres. Section 42, sub-section (8) 162 Section 49 980 Excisions under National Parks Amendment Act 1969- Section 10 14,600* 15,742 • Compensating addition to reserved for""t still to be effected. Additions under Forests Act 1958- Section 42, sub-section (8) 137 Section 45 1,170 Section 49 1,097 2,404 In addition, 1,750 acres of alienated land were purchased for extensions to softwood plantations and for miscellaneous purposes. Additional land in the Dandenong Ranges was purchased, comprising 26 individual lots for addition to the fire protection belt, and 4-} acres for other purposes. RESERVES. Forest parks, alpine reserves, scenic reserves and other special purpose reserves set aside under Section 50 of the Forests Act 1958 numbered 89 at 30th June, 1970. These comprised approximately 63,716 acres of reserved forest. Eight reserves were set aside during the year, including four fo rest parks with a total area of 17 ,200 acres. The total area of forest parks is 32,000 acres. Olinda Golf Links-Olinda Forest Reserve. Background of Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans). 9 There has been increasing demands on reserved forest for recreational use. The need to manage specific areas for preservation of unique vegetation types and important wildlife habitats has become even more evident during ~he year. Additional areas set aside are :-- Area Forest District. Name. Parish. (Acres).

  • Mt Donna Buang Wingless Stonefly
    Action Statement FloraFlora and and Fauna Fauna Guarantee Guarantee Act Act 1988 1988 No. No. ### 125 Mount Donna Buang Wingless Stonefly Riekoperla darlingtoni Description and Distribution The Mount Donna Buang Wingless Stonefly, Riekoperla darlingtoni (Illies 1968) is a cryptic insect belonging to the Family Gripopterygidae in the Order Plecoptera (stoneflies). Members of this order are distinguished from other insects by their long cerci and the absence of a median tail filament. The adult Mount Donna Buang Wingless Stonefly is brown, with darker markings on the thorax (Illies 1968), and has a body length of about 12 mm, with antennae about 8 mm and cerci about 3 mm (slightly less in females) (Neumann & Morey 1984). The nymph (the sub-adult aquatic stage) resembles the adult in form, but is smaller (Neumann & Morey 1984) and has a terminal gill tuft. Aquatic immature stages and poor powers of dispersal mean that they are only found near Mount Donna Buang Wingless Stonefly freshwater. (Harvey & Yen 1989). Although adults Riekoperla darlingtoni (male) [illustration from of the majority of Australian stonefly taxa have Illies (1968)] two pairs of well-developed wings (CSIRO 1991), the ‘wings’ of this taxon are present only as tiny flaps (Illies 1968) which preclude flight and, no doubt, further limit dispersal. Despite searches of a number of mountain forest habitats in Victoria and New South Wales (Illies 1968, Hynes 1974a), the taxon is known only from the vicinity of Mount Donna Buang, near Warburton, in the Victorian Central Highlands. Since discovery of the stonefly at Mount Donna Buang in 1931, all specimens had apparently been collected within about 1km of the summit (Hynes 1974a, Neumann & Morey 1984).

  • A Submission to Inform the Warburton Mountain Bike Destination Environment Effects Statement
    Level 3, 60 Leicester St Carlton Victoria 3053 Phone 03 9347 5188 Fax 03 9347 5199 [email protected] www.vnpa.org.au ABN 34 217 717 593 Shire Yarra Ranges Council 19/12/2020 Warburton Mountain Bike Destination P.O. Box 105, Anderson Street Lilydale, VIC A submission to inform the Warburton Mountain Bike Destination Environment Effects Statement Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on the Warburton Mountain Bike Destination consultation process prior to embarking on the required Environment Effects Statement (EES) process. The Victorian National Parks Association (VNPA) is an independent member‐based organisation, working to improve protection of Victoria’s biodiversity and natural areas, across land and sea. The VNPA has been actively working to protect Victoria’s biodiversity for over 60 years. We note, in regard to the current planning process for the Warburton Mountain Bike Destination proposal, that Yarra Ranges Shire has no legal authority to plan, let alone responsibility or capacity to manage, any activities or facilities in Yarra Ranges National Park. Introduction The VNPA sees the loss of remnant vegetation and the fragmentation of threatened species habitat as one of the most serious biodiversity issues our state is facing. Allowing our native species the space to adapt to our warming climate is essential for these species to prosper and avoid the threat of extinction into the future. Our national parks and other protected areas play a major role in combating the current extinction crisis we are facing, and in arresting the ongoing decline of native species and habitat types. Healthy natural habitats also assist native species to adapt to changes in the environment brought about by a warming climate, bushfires and other disturbances.

  • Baw Baw Ski Ascent
    Haw-Haw ••• A Fresh Ski-ascent By H. G. Toye HERE in the Baw-Baw are a dozen peaks within as many miles, all over 4,500 ft. On the 11th August, E. Lindgren and I made what was to be a trial run. I was amazed to find how altered the country appeared around St. Phillack. It had been a depressing sight just after the fierce bush-fires, but the white mantle of winter had been kind indeed, and its new glory of soft white decked the grotesque trees in jewels of brilliant ice. The trip was so effortless that on the following week-end I decided to rise early and make a dash for Baw-Baw, which had never been skied on before. We left Yallourn after dinner on Saturday, arriving at Ezards' sawmill about 2.15 p.m. Incidently, anyone who is feeling fit might try to lop a few minutes from Elo! Lindgren's 52 minute dash from the car park to the N.B.W. Hut. I took it slower-very much slower, and continued on to the summit to do a bit of skl-iug before tea. The moonlight ski-jng was so good I didn't get down till supper­ time. Our plan was w be on the summit of Erica by sunrise, not an easy effort after breakfasting on pancakes made of reduced cream, eggs, chopped ham, and a little flour. Try them sometime-you will find them most sustaining. Two ten-Inch diameter ones, and you can ski all day long without needing another bite.
