The future is growing
South East Forestry Hub
We support forestry in south east NSW so that we can help grow a better future – a future filled with promise and potential.
Together, forestry, landholders and community can work to create positive growth in our forests, economies and communities.
About us
We are committed to supporting the growth of forest industries in South East NSW, so that we can have a positive impact on our community and our forests.
Why forestry?
Community can take a lot of positives from the way we manage forestry in our region. Wood is an essential resource, and we believe that meeting this need locally is the responsible thing to do for both our community and the environment.
The more trees we can grow at home, the more opportunities we have to create regional jobs and a sustainable industry that we can be proud of.
We want to grow more trees so that we can create positive change for our communities, forests and economy.
