Big trees are awesome and we cant wait to share our discoveries with the world. Sadly many big trees are suffering from to much love. The ground and roots gets trampled. Pathogens like Myrtle rust can be introduced to areas where it is not currently. Erosion and tracks can become a problem. Many of our trees are out in the wild with no tracks, no infrastructure and some times way behind locked gates. With these wild trees we will only give a general location and nothing more. Other trees are on private property so again we will not be giving location information. Some trees are on roadsides and walking tracks, these trees we may be more descriptive of exact locations. What ever the case we strongly encourage respect for nature and for these forest elders. Massive trees like the ones we share are really irreplaceable. They take hundreds of years to get as big as they are and many are getting towards the end of their life. Sadly many of our biggest and largest trees are casualties of bush fires and fire operation, others are impacted by land clearing and logging. For me conservation of nature and being an advocate for our amazing NSW natural areas are core values and “threatened trees” are sadly still a thing in this part of the world.
We are very excited to share exemplary trees of their species and not just giant trees. Only a handful of trees species get above 70 meters and for many species 40 or 50 meters tall is still incredibly significant. Other trees will be all about the girth rather then the height and many of the very tall trees we have found are tall and thin. Measuring tree heights can be a very big challenge and while we will do our best to be accurate sometimes its just not possible to get a reliable height measurement.
