Miranda’s Daily Blog: Day 339
I recently had a visit from Lee Rhiannon, Greens Senator from New South Wales. It was great to have her make the ascent into the tree tops to see me. Check out this short video clip, and hear what she had to say about the Observer Tree:

Miranda’s Daily Blog: Day 335
It was recently my Mum’s birthday. My sister sent me photos of the family celebration. With technology at our finger tips, it’s like you can be there without being there, right? Except, the instantaneous photos didn’t stop me from feeling that pang in my heart, that little stab of loneliness, of missing my family. Then I remembered the happy memories of when my Mum made the brave step to visit me. It was months ago now, but the happiness of those few days has kept me going through all of the challenges since then. Not just her presence and laughter in the tree, but something more than that – knowing how much she supports what I am doing, how proud she is of me and the stance I am making on behalf of these forests. And so my memories lead me to look over all the footage we had taken when she stayed here. And now… I have turned that footage into a short film for you. So that you too can enjoy those memories. And see what an adventure it was for my Mum to take her feet 60 meters above ground to visit her daughter. I hope you enjoy the video, and share it with your friends and family too!

An echidna needs your help!
Watch this short video of an echidna picking its way through fresh road-making operations in a forest, where a protest occurred yesterday. This area is proposed to be logged to supply Ta Ann Tasmania and end up in Japan. The echidna is a fascinating animal unique to Australia, but it is also distressing to see what is happening to its forest home.

Guest Blog: Forest Biomass Energy- A dim idea
Forest Biomass Energy: A dim idea…
On the brink of collapse, Australia’s logging industry has been desperately trying to secure a future in native forests, and on its death bed has hatched one last delirious brainchild… BIOMASS ENERGY GENERATION.
Biomass energy is the creation of electricity and fuel by burning resources – in this case wood from trees that are logged from natural forests on publicly owned land.

Observer Tree needs your help!
I’ve been at the top of this tree for over 300 days now. I think it’s time for the world to know I’m here. The more people who find out and add their voice to the call for forest proteciton… the sooner we can save Tasmania’s forests and I can get down!
