In their latest attempt to save logging coupe DN7B, or as they call it, ‘The Huon Valley Grove of Giants,’ Dr Jen Sanger and Steve Pearce (aka. ‘The Tree Projects’) enlist the help of passionate climbers & volunteers to conduct a comprehensive carbon survey of the area. Could this be the most carbon dense patch of forest in Tasmania? And if so, could that be enough to convince logging agencies and the government to formally protect this ‘Grove of Giants.’
