ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A large number of people and organizations contributed to the success of the field component of the TIGGER project. We would especially like to thank the following:

• Forestry Tasmania: For permission to access many numerous sites on their land. In particular, we would like to thank Islay Robertson, Mike Peterson, Alan Watson, Alan Goodwin and Dean Tuson.

• Australian Bulk Minerals: For giving us access to the remote Pipeline track in NW Tasmania. Thanks to Tony Ferguson and Stephen Kent for helping us through the red tape.

• Parks and Wildlife Service: Gave us permission to install a number of sites in conservation areas and national parks. Particular thanks go to Mike Pemberton, Geoff Coles and Stan Matuszek.

• Gunns Limited: For permission to enter and install several sites in pine plantations. Thanks to Tony Clifford for providing us with keys and maps.

• Rayonier Tasmania: For permission to install a site in one of their pine plantations. Thanks to Garth Turner for his assistance in this regard.

• Monash University: We thank the Department of Geosciences for providing us with Trevor Allen to assist with fieldwork.

• University of Tasmania: We thank UTAS for permission to store a vehicle and equipment at the Launceston campus for the duration of the experiment. Particular thanks go to Bruce Baudinette and John Crosswell.

• Private Landowners: Last but not least, we would like to thank all the private landowners who gave us permission to install recorders on their land. Without exception, they were friendly and helpful, and without them, this project would not have succeeded.
