| I thought maybe that the rally, the four corners TV report and Mark Regards I’m a member from Greenpeace Austria. "ACT" is the Austrian Newspaper from Greenpeace. There is a news story about the Styx-Valley. It`s great to do this work. Much luck, Felicity, most heart warming. Best regards, To all of you there in the Styx ... thank you for being there! Your Mary Haginikitas
Next time we are
down in Tassie we will hire a better car or 4wd but hopefully by
then a ban will be in place on wood chipping ancient forests. We have
emailed Mark Latham on this issue in a bid to change political party
views and have joined the Wilderness Society .
Sincerely, a former tree hugger herself, Cole. Hey there gals and guys... I admire everything you are all doing. I will say one thing, by the end of this year I AM coming to see you and stand at the bottom of the tree and say hello and thank you before I go overseas for a while. See you then. Please stay warm and don't get a cold... :) Cheers Tanya
in Brisbane Queensland I just got to know about your defence work and I visited your webpage. I want to thank all you for the efforts you are doing, especially your diary is very touching. Though I know that words almost cannot tell the beauty of nature I´m very grateful of your wonderful descriptions. I tell all my friends and colleagues about your work so that more people from all around the world get to know of Styx Valley and your giant friend Gandalf. I hope that I support you in this way. I will stay in "touch" with your webpage. I wish you good luck. Ingrid, a friend from Vienna 13th March 2004: Adelaide Mob Drop Banner from the City Railway Station Reading "Tassies Forests: a National Responsibility".....plenty of media followed...No arrests! And something for yo imagination: 5 June , WED, massTREEtheatre.... where hundreds of Adelaideans will come and form a huge 84m tree on a main street in Adelaide city....folks will wear brown, green, and black for humus and together creating a forest scape in the city!! Anyway keep up the top effort....love to all Adelaide Forest Mob Thank you for helping to save the planet Matt Maiorana Dear Styx forest defenders, Thankyou for everything – but most of all the giving of yourselves
for the forests and wildlife. Today, may not save the forests, but
the rescue gates have at last been opened. Your long vigil high in
Gandalf’s Staff has bound us all together and
will always be seen as, like the moon, Warmest wishes Hi, I just wanted to say that I was looking at your website for a
school a friend My husband and I visited you the week before last during a holiday
in Tasmania. We really feel it was one of the most special experiences
for us. Obviously I don't need to tell you how it felt to be in that
very special area with those magnificent trees and ferns, and the
special energy there. This was our first direct experience with Greenpeace in action and we were so impressed by what you were doing there. You are doing such wonderful work, and we do hope you will be successful. We are talking to everyone about the GRS and will write to John Howard etc. We hope in this very small way we can contribute to your efforts. With our best wishes
Roxanna It’s really great, what you are doing!! All good wishes! J.Z. DONT STOP!!! YOUR MESSAGE - OF RESISTENT AGAINST THE DESTRUCION OF NATURE - ARRIVED EVEN MY COUNTRY - AUSTRIA!!! WE ARE WITH YOU!!! Fam. Untersteggaber / Vienna I have just read an article in an Austrian newspaper about your peaceful way to try and protect the old, huge and great eucalyptus trees in Tasmania, in the Styx Valley. Last year I traveled around Tasmania and I thought, "What a beautiful island". I am shocked to read that loggers plan to cut down these respectful trees. Angela, Austria Hey mates! I just wanted to say how proud I am of you. In the face of greed, corruption and political power you sit defiant, and anyone with a brain and a heart that speaks louder than dollars knows that you are right in what you do. Kate I just want to say that me and my daughter are so very grateful for what you guys are doing for us. thank you!! again, thank you treesavers for being such heroes!!! love from pernille and lilly, Perth Just a quick G'day and Onya to all of you wonderful people up there, downthere, in the Styx Valley in Tassie. Want to tell you that I think you're doing an absolutely FANTASTIC thing for every Australian, and our children will thank you. Marc, Melbourne Dear Skye tree-sitters, Congratulations on your most breathtaking, impressive and spectacular tree-sit!!! Ingmar, Vancouver Thank you so much for putting your time into helping save our forests. Without people like yourselves, young people would not have much of a future. Take care of yourselves down there! Vicki (Australia) I was a (small) customer at Bomaco, but I just wrote them a mail that I will stop buying at their place because of the Tasmanian Oak problem. Keep on doing your good job !!!! Ben, Belgium All the best in your fight to save this small piece of our natural environment. It is more than just a small piece of Earth's puzzle but awareness of a desperate situation that we are heading toward. We must be optimistic in our hopes that the human race is smart enough to realize the tragedies in store before it is too late. In the mean time, enjoy the view and cross your fingers. Curtis from Canada I'm from Tasmania but unfortunately I live in Saudi Arabia, but
I'm coming back next year, and I hope to help when I get there. You're
all very brave, remember that all the rain is worth it. Dear friends high up in the Threes of Styx Valley! You guys sitting in that tree reminds me of that Simpson's episode where Lisa does the same. Keep up the good work, the world appreciates it. John, Murfreesboro, Tennessee I really look forward to logging on and catching up with the lastest news from the Global Rescue Station. The tree looks amazing and what you are doing really makes sense of the more spiritual meaning of Xmas(
Peace on Earth) than the massive consumer madness that has
become Xmas.

I admire you

When I have seen your photo's from the forest, it is amazing beautiful. And to think to destroy this is also amazing. Please stay up there and let everbody know that this forest is not for sale. I wish you all the luck en succes with this protest. René E from
Holland.
To all concerned.....those up in the trees and to all behind the scenes that put this website together to keep us informed.....thank you! We are with you in spirit and applaud your efforts and sacrifices. Such an insane world when we have to go to these extremes to save our forest habitats. Bren I feel bad by thinking of you living on a tree while I'm sitting comfortably infront of my computer writing you this message. I admire your courage and I wan't to send you a huge hug full of strength and love, wisshing you a happy New Year and hoping that the dreams of 2003 become the reality of 2004. Alda C - Portugal Hallo to all tree-sitters in the Styx Valley/AUS. You are doing a great job! I´ll try to get in contact with the tree-buyers in Japan. Good luck to you all and best
wishes for 2004!
Reimund W, Gifhorn,Germany
Good on you. Keep up the good work. I could never get up there so I really admire you your good work. Michelle, Perth Aloha!
I greatly admire what you folks are doing! May God Bless your
efforts, may you be safe and healthy! Aloha from Hawaii, Kailani happy christmas and I hope you see santa and his reindeer
from that great height ! Sometimes I despair at the youth of today, but when I see what you are trying to achieve, I know the world has a bright future. Dave G We had a bit of a storm in Sydney recently and I thought, gee I hope
the Styx Valley guys are staying in the tree. We also had a fair bit
of rain, and I thought, gee I hope those guys are staying dry! Now
I realize that you would have enjoyed that deluge. Love your work. You guys could go down in history as the ones who
saved the world’s tallest hardwood trees – WOW - not to
mention the many threatened species of the Styx. Me thinks some people are finally barking up the right tree!! Good
to see! Can’t tell you how happy I am to see this kinda action!
To all up the tree and also all those behind the scenes .. since so
many
people are working for this.... congratulations and may the force
be with you and the Styx. I am following your treesit all the way
here in France today. Yeah, not really that much to say. Just keep up the good work and
keep being heard, for all of us. I was crying as I listened on my way up to Jindabyne - I have emailed
the pollies on behalf of the Styx trees and told at least 10 other
people about your treehouse. Bravo I humbly salute you and send peace
and love. I've just been emailed your story from a friend of mine who is passionately
involved in conserving the Styx and Tarkine forests, and I am absolutely
inspired by your efforts and guts to swing from a tree that tall.
It's a creative, daring statement and I love it! Thank you for your commitment and dedication .Good luck Please keep at it guys, you are doing a brilliant job doing what
so many of us wish that we had the time and courage to do. To you who stand for us - BRAVO. The noblest activity I believe
anyone can undertake - the prevention of the destruction. What you
do - I salute you. Keep it up, you lot! We're proud of you and are thinking of you.
My son (aged 7) thinks you're brilliant! What they do to the forest seems to be malicious in the extreme!
It's beyond comprehension. As Gandhi said, “What do I think
of Western Civilisation? It would be a good idea." Well done for putting your beliefs into action. Here in Ireland,
it's the wrong time of year for outdoor living - almost winter. As
it is mid-spring for you, daytime could well be hot, even 65 metres
up. From the photos I have seen, it doesn't look like there is much
shelter at treetop level. Could be scary, swaying in the wind. I am crying right now. Come on, you've got all that time sitting around in that beautiful
canopy, and you keep mentioning how beautiful the views are, so how
about uploading some good photos to show the rest of us? I just wanted to send you a message saying that my prayers are with
you and I hope that you are all doing well. Respect to you - I hope you are successful. I spent some time tree
sitting a few years ago, trying to stop the building of a road in
the Aire Valley at Bingley in Yorkshire. You really get a different
perspective on the world don't you - and I don't just mean because
you are high up. But being among leaves and insects, with the sounds
of the breeze and wildlife is really something else. It's good to hear that spirits remain high in the Styx Valley. Hang
in there (literally) and keep up the struggle. My name is Rafael, I write from Mexico to support you guys I know
that the mission is very hard and dangerous because, please take care
my heart, my thoughts and my good vibe are with you guys. Your friend
from Mexico, Greetings from Lapland Good on you. I cannot even begin to tell you how greatly I support you and love
this idea! At my high school, we just started an environmentalist
club, and seeing that you fine folks are there making such a difference
really endorses our enthusiasm for helping out environment here in
my town. BRAVO!! You are really courageous & do a great job, I truly think
of you from my comfortable home in France. One day, maybe, I'll join
the activists. Be sure we support you & think of you! I just got excited at what you are doing, and wanted to express that
to somebody. How excellent, the king of all tree-sits! You guys should be proud
to be up there on behalf of all of us, and I'm proud that you're
there Well done guys - news of your protest has now reached London and we
are all following your progress on the web. Congratulations!!!!! and very best wishes. I saw a wedge-tailed eagle as soon as I got my platform Think of me in jail if any of you have a spare moment - maybe Hope you are still there when I'm free again, and
can drop me Keep up the good work, Hi and best luck to you all. I'm up on the east coast of Tas and am making tipis,
and would I am also putting out a CD of photos to fund a
protest Dear Activists I'm a member of the Wilderness Society and simply wish to pass Hopefully as a result of your efforts, my wife and I will in My family and I wish you all the best. Regards Hi Everyone, I have read in a number of places that these are
the world's Hi Hey folks, I'm sitting here at my desk and just
heard about your action on Triple J. Wishing you all the best, be
tough, be strong, these kinds of actions can go really
really well and generate lots of support and interest in the situation.
And now the mum in me says be safe, double check your ropes and harnesses
and don't forget to drink enough water! Sending lots of good energy. HATS OFF TO YA. Think you're doing a great job. Sakyo, you crazy person! I thought you were in Australia for vacation. Congratulations!!!! Are you cold, are you scared and are you having fun? Warmest congratulations to you all for your great
logistic triumph, getting all that stuff up there without getting
sprung. Hi and best luck to you all. I was just wandering
if there was anything we can do to help to keep you all up there as
long as possible.
This is an amazing venture -- great website, terrific
design. Hope you have heads and stomachs for heights. Best of luck Good work gang and hang in there We're up here in the tropics and sending down warm
wishes and weather, but not the tropical downpour we got last night!!
Good luck, hang in there and stay safe!
