Forestry Tasmania has entered into Memoranda of Understanding that will improve cooperation with water suppliers and wine producers.

As part of the evolution of forest management, Forestry Tasmania is moving away from clear felling in most old growth forests, finding new ways to reduce the risks of wild fires, generating opportunities from the emerging carbon market, and reducing the impacts of planned burns on communities.

Forestry Tasmania welcomes a new study on the Tasmanian masked owl as an important step in increasing understanding and awareness of issues affecting the bird. 

 

“As a partner in the Cooperative Research Centre for Forestry, FT contributes to and benefits from the knowledge and information that is generated through its research programs,” said Dr Hans Drielsma, FT’s Executive General Manager.
