Southern Highlands Shale Woodland, an endangered ecology supposedly under the protection of state legislation
THE BIG SECRET: there is little to no notification of the endangered status of this and other ecologies in this area, and much is illegally removed for firewood and dislike, or stolen off public land. There are stricter rules to protect this endangered woodland, but it is rarely applied, enforced or education provided by the authorities responsible for its protection be it on private or public land. In many cases those in charge of its protection have a poor understanding of ecology and the legislation itself or simply don't seem to care.
