Threatened Gardens of Stone
Large areas of this amazing landscape on the western escarpments of the Blue Mountains are threatened by mining, logging and destructive trail bike activity. The Gardens of Stone Stage 2 reserve proposal takes in the pagodas and forests of the Wolgan, Ben Bullen and Newnes State Forests. Open cut coal mines threaten to destroy large areas piece by piece, while lax management gives open slather to damaging recreation.
