Abstract

Both the timber industry and the forests themselves in Western Australia have a rich history. Until fairly recently, however, heritage values were little recognised or protected. Furthermore, both the industry and its effect on the forest can rapidly fade away with the passage of time. Attitudes have changed dramatically since about the 1970s, and there is now a strong community interest in preserving the history of the industry and in the protecting the heritage values of the forest. Preserving the human element is the least satisfactory aspect at this stage.
