Forestry Corporation of NSW has been managing environmental sustainability, tourism and renewable timber production in NSW's State-owned commercial native and plantation forests for more than a century.
We balance environmental conservation and community recreation with timber production and access for other primary industries such as grazing and beekeeping to ensure our forests sustainably deliver multiple benefits to the community for the long term. We
permanently protect a million hectares for wildlife and conservation
welcome millions of visitors a year
harvest less than one per cent of native State forests annually to produce renewable timber for a range of purposes.
We are independently certified to the Australian Standard for Sustainable Forest Management and, as a state owned corporation, have an independent Board of Directors and deliver an annual financial return to the people of NSW.
