Four Key Facts about VicForests

Of the 7.8 million hectares of native forest in Victoria, VicForests harvests approximately 5 500 ha each year, less than 0.1% of the total native forest area.

After harvesting, forested areas are replanted with the same species that occurred on the site and are closely closely monitored to ensure the forest area is regrown.

VicForests' timber is sent to mills to produce high quality furniture, flooring, other building materials, writing and office paper.

VicForests is certified to the Australian Forestry Standard which is aligned to the global Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, the world's largest forest certification scheme.
