Private native forestry codes of practice
The Private Native Forestry Codes of Practice are statutory documents that guide farm forestry operations in NSW. The Private Native Forestry Codes set minimum operating standards for actively managing farm forests in line with ecologically sustainable forest management.
There are four Private Native Forestry Codes which apply to different regions across NSW, including:
- Northern NSW
- Southern NSW
- River red gum forests
- Cypress and western hardwood forests.
New PNF Codes of Practice commenced on 2 May 2022.
