Our operations
We sustainably harvest, sell and regrow timber from Victoria’s state forests under a mandate from the Victorian Government.
Our planning process is extensive, with a particular focus on conservation values. All work is undertaken by highly skilled foresters.
Each tree we harvest is replanted and regrown with the original species. We apply extensive protections for protected species, as well as protecting waterways and soils.
We always harvest with care
Adaptive harvesting approach
Our sustainable practices are underpinned by an adaptive suite of harvesting and regeneration techniques used to balance social, environmental and economic objectives within the forest estate.
We focus on applying the most appropriate silvicultural systems to match the forest species and characteristics to management objectives.
This is achieved by assessing coupes for forest values (forest type, threatened species, social factors) and developing plans tailored for each coupe.
Adaptive measures
- Protect: increasing the retention of hollow-bearing trees and important ecological areas within the coupe.
- Recruit: focusing on the protection of hollow-bearing trees for the now, medium and long-term.
- Connect: using detailed surveys and forest data to design coupes to maintain connectivity between habitat patches inside and adjacent to the coupe.
- Regenerate: increasing use of low-intensity regeneration programs to assist in the protection of ecological values during regeneration works.
