Eco Forestry Project
Images of a community based Eco-forestry project with small portable timber mill, Lake Murray. Community based ecologically sustainable projects are the key to the current issues facing many Papua New Guineans. In that vein small sustainable eco-milling projects are rolling out in Lake Murray. These consist of 6 man teams who log by demand only. The mill is portable and a specific tree is chosen, felled, then the small mill constructed around it. There is thus no damage from roads and heavy machinery and only specific trees are targeted thus making for a sustainable venture with all proceeds going to local communities rather than to foreign bodies. The primary motivations of the community loggers are to raise sufficient funds to educate their children and to pay medical costs if the need arises.
