An estimated 670 trees were bulldozed from a roadside north of Mudgee, NSW, displacing dozens of native birds and chicks.
I really detest Governments that allow this wanton destruction.

NSW Greens MP and environment spokeswoman Sue Higginson said it was an example of a failing planning system that allowed the developer and government to “bulldoze past environmental protections”.
“To destroy nature in the name of protecting nature doesn’t square,” she said
It happens here in Victoria too.The developers bribing someone I expect.

There needs to be an in-depth inquiry here.
Find out who gave the final order to remove all trees. Show the results of the survey for nesting hollows/chicks.
Why was the alternative option, (another road constructed on the vacant land) dismissed so readily.
Makes me angry.
No one will be held accountable.

Poor chicks … the pictures of them were rather heartrending … good to see though that it seems someone rescued them.
I also see the suggestion of a wildlife corridor was ignored?
This really shows up the scale of the devastation… a before and after shot.
