Not quite, the oak tree only has a life of 100 to 300 years if they cut closer to the 250 year mark then effectively this is sustainable logging in practice.

Beats the last reason they cut them down which was for the grandeur of the French fleet.

They can harvest them from somewhere they aren't native, from somewhere they were deliberately imported to preserve a supply of timber for ship building.

They're not native to Melbourne, and they are cutting down 100 year old trees left right and centre to kill off a foreign beetle. FFS, to Melbourne Greenies Oaks are a pest species, they wanted them cut down last year to preserve a concrete carbon reducing bike path from root damage!
