Forest Practices Code Part 1

Timber harvesting in Forests NSW plantations

The 'Forest Practices Code Part 1 - Timber Harvesting in Forests NSW Plantations' (2005) serves to regulate harvesting operations throughout Forests NSW softwood and hardwood plantations in New South Wales. It also provides information to anyone interested in good plantation management.
The provisions of the Code are binding on all parties involved in the organisation, management and practice of obtaining timber products from Forests NSW plantations.

The Code is about protecting the forest environment, protecting the value of the crop, maintaining a safe workplace, ensuring proper accounting procedures for timber and communicating these rules to all stakeholders.
