RUBICON 82.38m NSW TALLEST TREE two days in 4 mins, 15min cut on The Tree Projects YouTube channel that show way more of the process and methodology.
We spent 6 weeks over winter measuring NWS’s tallest trees to definitively answer which was the tallest. Many reports had wildly varying numbers for the same tree. So in order to escape the long Tassie winter and do something worth while for the planet we decided to undertake this project. More details on this winter 2024 project on our website

#OFFICIAL NSW TALLEST TREE is in a logging coupe @andrewkaineder & Save Big Spotty campaign is almost out of time. Get behind the campaign and donate some dosh to share the story of this champion tree. Andy has the experience, the flash cine tools and the connections to make this big.
We’ve been dropping tapes and LiDAR scanning NSW tallest trees over the last 5 weeks, cos it’s sick fun. All trees measured from tip to mid point of ground following @americanforests detailed measuring manual.
The results (for now 🤓)
🥇Big Spotty (Corymbia maculata) 70.93
🥈The Grandis (Eucalyptus grandis) 70.25
🥉Woodford (Eucalyptus deanei) 69.52
Big Spotty is in a logging coupe with just a 60m buffer. What rubbish, this champion tree for its species and the state needs so much more than this token buffer zone.
We’re fully behind Andy and his production team on this project.
Save Big Spotty campaign ends on Tuesday help them hit their goals! Link in bio

DEEP DROP measuring an incredible structure with @everydayarbor & @windingcreektrees. Easily a top 10 tree experience and something that I’ve never seen before on this scale. The fact that trees can have so little structure holding tonnes of material is amazing. Naturally this cavity was created while the tree had time to react and add on material to compensate. A stunning example of how our #eucalyptus are so unique on the world stage.
Frothing on this so much! There’s a few mega trees in Tassie with hollow bases but this being so high up is SOOOO COOOL

MOSTEST FUN ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED. @island_habitat the one and only Shaun Green just living a big tree life. So often we mission out to the trees with an agenda, with a goal that must be achieved. It’s a great experience just to go to a tree we’ve known for maybe 4 years now and revisit it.
This tree once had logging machines heading right for it, we stirred the pot, climb, measured, documented and shared it till they gave up on those plans. But this tree never measured up to the previous version of Sustainable Timber Tasmania’s giant tree policy. Measuring in at 71m tall, 260 cubic metres in volume and a 5.5m diameter it just wasn’t big enough even though to any reasonable person’s measure it was enormous.
Now, since our years long effort to get the Giant Tree Policy formally updated has paid off with the inclusion of all trees over 4m in diameter this tree and a score of others in the vicinity are all protected from logging.
It’s nice to be in the forest with just enjoyment as the goal.

FORESTRY TASMANIA, “RETAINING” LARGE TREES ONLY TO INCINERATE THEM. This analysis shows the devastating effects of retaining large trees and burning them when the surrounding landscape of logging waste is incinerated. In 2024 how does this pass as an acceptable practice for the trees and for our climate.
These large trees are 2.5m or greater in diameter and they are retained with the intention that they one day become giants.
Our report “Tasmania’s Forest Carbon” reveals that native forest logging is the biggest emitter of carbon in the state. Native forest logging in Tasmania emits more than the entire transport sector including domestic aviation.
END NATIVE FOREST LOGGING

YES @teufelbergertreecare sharing the tree joy with the world. These absolute legends have supplied TreeMotion Essential harnesses, CEclimb MRS systems, xStatic SRS access lines, 9Line throwlines & HipStar Flex lanyards. All donated to the Ghana University.
Mate, Teufelberger even automatically paid the import taxes on this shipment which was really making the University nervous. Now that’s attention to detail and an abundance of thought that is rare from big companies. YOU BLODDY RIPPER!

MASSIVE NEWS ⬅️➡️ Tasmania’s most carbon-dense forest. The Huon Valley Grove of Giants is Tasmania’s most carbon-dense forest.
In November 2022, we invited a group of 15 professional tree climbers from across Australia and New Zealand came to the Grove to measure how much carbon was stored in the Huon Valley Grove of Giants.
The lead researcher, our very own Dr Jennifer Sanger, found that the Huon Valley Grove of Giants contained 1312 tonnes of carbon per hectare, making it the highest estimation of carbon for any Tasmanian forest.
The academic paper published in Austral Ecology has taken more than a year to plan, execute and write.
This is one of the most comprehensive forest carbon studies ever to be undertaken in Tasmania, and given the sheer size of the trees in the Grove of Giants, I am not surprised that it is the most carbon-dense forest ever measured in the state,” says Dr Jennifer Sanger, co-founder of The Tree Projects.
“By involving professional tree climbers, we were able to take accurate measurements of the tree’s volumes, which allows us to gain a precise estimate of how much carbon these giant trees store”, says Dr. Sanger. “We also had teams of volunteers undertaking measurements of the understory trees, the fallen logs and the soil carbon.”
Massive shout out to @nztreeninja @climber.jess.hamer and all the crew on the ground that came to help.

AWELORD MAXIMUM. Tasmania’s big trees (and this Steve bloke) have featured on @abctv Compass program last night. The episode featured people who have found awe in nature. With the biggest and tallest trees in the southern hemisphere it’s hard not to be totally in awe of these living towers.
