Our extensive analyses of the main wood production region in Victoria — the Central Highlands — show that more than 8000 hectares of logged forest has not been properly regenerated. Alarmingly, the area of failed regeneration has been increasing over the past decade. More and more logged areas no longer support trees where they once did.”
