Logging in Dwellingup

I can tell you now that the Forestry department will be starting logging on the Murray valley side as of this week and this will go on till September.  They will then start on Tom’s Crossing side after that and this will continue through 2013.

 

We are able to race at Tom’s for another year and then it’s more a suck it and see where the logging is at.

 

The logging will consist of a complete logging and clearing of the land; after the land is cleared it will be turned back into native forest again. This is where we as mountain bikers are being given the opportunity to go in and design and develop trails. This has been handed to WAMBA to be the overall controller.
