Harvesters and timber mills are racing against time to fell bushfire-ravaged pine trees in the Riverina before they become worthless.

"We've had a very honest conversation with our team about our job over the next 12 months and what the future beyond that is," Mr Green said."We know we've lost 30 per cent of our forests but we don't know what that means after we get through the next year or so."

"But we're trying to smooth things out as much as possible by salvaging the logs as quickly as we can and replanting as quickly as we can." "All this salvaging comes at a very, very significant cost, and then there's the rapidly accelerated wear and tear on harvesting machines and sawmill equipment," Mr Crowe said.
