Think tank seeks subsidy to preserve native vegetation
29 Aug 2006
The Southern Cross Group proposes that farmers and graziers would be paid by the taxpayer to manage native forests on their land. SCG includes the World Wildlife Fund, World Conservation Union, forestry scientists and representatives of the farm and forestry industries. About a third of NSW's 27 million hectares of native forest is on private land. Such a scheme may cost $200 million a year in NSW.
