At around 2:30pm today one forest defender was arrested in Upper Florentine Valley for halting roading operations by perching themselves high in a tree sit cabled off to a quarry gate.

 

Forest activists today tried to deliver a formal request for information and maps regarding Forestry Tasmania's current and planned operations in the Upper Florentine.

 

"Activists today requested that Forestry Tasmania substantiate claims that 90% of the Upper Florentine is not available for harvesting. In response, Forestry Tasmania shut its doors on community concern." Still Wild Still Threatened spokesperson and Triabunna 13 defendant Christo Mills said.
