2005 Ecologically Sustainable Forest Management (ESFM) Plans

Forests NSW has issued Ecologically Sustainable Forest Management (ESFM) plans for the coming five years for the Upper North East, the Lower North East, South Coast, Eden and Tumut State forest areas.

The plans set out broad strategies, performance indicators and measurable outcomes for forest management in the regions, including the strategies that Forests NSW will put into practice to achieve objectives in key areas of forest management.

These key areas include natural heritage, Aboriginal cultural heritage, non-Aboriginal cultural heritage, protected areas, forest health, sustainable timber supply, economic development, social development, forestry operations, consultation, monitoring and reporting.

The plans build on important ecological data collected and analysed in comprehensive regional assessments and used as a basis for Regional Forest Agreements for the regions.

Stakeholders and the public were given the chance in 2005 to comment on the plans and provide feedback.
