Ecologically Sustainable Forest Management Plans: Planted Forests
Forests NSW is dedicated to Ecologically Sustainable Forest Management (ESFM) for current and future generations, to complement management on other tenures and to develop a sustainable forest industry. This is reflected in adherence to policies and directives such as the Commonwealth Government National Forest Policy Statement (NFPS), the Forestry Act 1916, and Forests NSW Environmental Policy, which states that Forests NSW will “achieve ecologically sustainable forest management”.
The requirement for Planted Forest regional ESFM plans evolved from a need to update the regional management plans for each of Forests NSW four Planted Forest regions to reflect these policies and directives whilst maintaining requirements under relevant legislative Acts. The Planted Forest regions are Hume, Monaro, Macquarie and Northern.
Each ESFM plan underwent a public consultation process and was adapted to incorporate stakeholder suggestions where appropriate, and generally follow the same format of Native Forest plans published in 2005.
Electronic versions can be downloaded from the links provided below. Alternatively, hardcopies of the plans can be obtained by contacting relevant regional offices.
