Forestry Corp cops $500,000 penalty for illegal logging

"This arrangement stems from an incident involving the confirmed illegal harvesting of 17 protected trees in Coopernook State Forest on the NSW mid-North Coast."

A "Penalty comes while Forestry Corp has been issued with Stop Work Orders at Tallaganda and Flat Rock State Forests because of inadequate wildlife surveys before logging commences."
