Recommendations Re Forest Management

  • Maximise preservation of our forests for their intrinsic value, as well as economic benefit. And for the protection of the environment, the water supply and bio-diversity.
  • Active and effective regeneration of forests.
  • Community and regional involvement in ecological modernization of primary production and industry.
  • Selective logging, plantations and radial sawing replace clear-felling, for the supply of sawlogs/whole timber, and to be value-added within the region.
  • The development of alternative non-wood based products of high quality in an environmentally friendly fashion.
  • The development of a functional, ecological agrifibre industry to assist in achieving the above aims.
