Bob Brown Foundation has called for an urgent immediate inquiry into a fire in the Styx Valley currently being attended to.

“It appears a Forestry Tasmanian ‘regeneration burn’ that was ‘completed’ on Saturday has got out of control today. We call on the Minister for Logging to commit to an inquiry into this escaped burn,” Bob Brown Foundation’s Jenny Weber said.

“Flattening and incinerating wild forests and wildlife and aggravating climate change needs to end. These forest-destroying burns should be banned,” Jenny Weber said.
