Are harvesting operation allowed during Summer months?

Are harvesting operation allowed during Summer months?

In some cases, yes. All tree harvesting and replanting operations (thinning and clearfell) may only occur once a felling licence has been obtained.  The felling licence is granted by the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and this gives consent for tree harvesting and replanting operations to occur in these areas, even during the Summer months.

In areas that may be environmentally sensitive the Forest Service may seek additional information or add conditions to the licence.
