Farm Forestry
Farm Forestry is the sustainable management of native forests on private property for a range of values such as:
- timber production
- biodiversity conservation
- pest and weed management
- fire management
- Aboriginal cultural values.
Sustainable management of private native forests makes a positive contribution to the overall health, productivity and profitability of farm enterprises and rural and regional communities.
At Local Land Services, we’re responsible for private native forestry advice and approvals. The NSW Environment Protection Authority is responsible for compliance and enforcement of private native forestry.
