Denison Valley
This Valley is home to the best climbing tree in Tasmania, a 92m Tasmanian Blue Gum (Eucalyptus globulus). This small informal reserve holds three currently registered big trees and its borders are pressed against by several logging coupes. On a survey climb in December 2019, we were lucky enough to experience the tree in full flower and record the presence of eight critically endangered swift parrots.
This valley and the neighbouring Russell River Catchment to the north will undoubtedly hold several more giant trees yet to be discovered. These patches of remnant forest ,while not having a great deal of LiDar hits, will most definitely yield many volumetric giants and much survey work needs to be done to discover them.
