With the start of the bushfire season less than two months away, lingering concerns remain about fuel loads on roadside reserves and near residential areas in Wellington Shire.

Canning Vale Timber owner John Mavros, who has been campaigning for changes to native vegetation controls for almost two decades, said he was worried about high fuel loads in the lead-up to a fire season authorities are predicting to be horrific.

"The main problem is people can't remove dangerous trees from their property themselves,'' he said.

"Trees adjoining residential areas should be thinned down and dead trees removed.''

Mr Mavros was also very critical of high fuel loads and dead trees on roadside reserves.

"Native vegetation along roadside reserves should be reduced dramatically,'' he said.

"The argument is that native vegetation is left at the edge of the road for native animals but that's not working; we're killing them with kindness because animals and cars don't mix.''

Mr Mavros said the State Government's native vegetation controls should be suspended for a couple of years so work could be done to thin out trees and reduce fuel loads.

Mr Mavros isn't the only one worried about land management in the lead-up to fire season. Briagolong resident Bill Taylor was fined by Wellington Shire Council for removing native vegetation from a roadside reserve opposite his home on Sawpit Creek Rd earlier this year.

But he's worried no more work has been done by authorities to reduce his fire risk.

Mr Taylor removed tree limbs, sticks and dead native grass in the work which saw him fined and he was given permission by the council to clear up a large dead tree on the roadside reserve near his home.

He said he was worried because fuel loads along the road are still high but since the road isn't a council designated fire break, no work is being done - despite the fact the council told Mr Taylor in a letter the road would not be safe to access during a fire.
