VicForests' certified sustainable forestry methods produce a wide range of native timber each year.
Our harvesting operations produce a range of ash and mixed species high and low grade sawlog, pulplog and firewood.
For example, in a normal year approximately 35,000 cubic metres of firewood is produced and sold by VicForests.
