Griffin Park to re-open September 2008

Griffin Park near Mathinna will re-open 30 September 2008 following an extended closure that begins on 14 April.


“A tree plantation near the campground will be harvested,” said Peter Bird, Forestry Tasmania’s District Forest Manager. “For safety reasons, we are obliged to close the area to the public. Griffin Park, including the campground will be reopened in time for next summer’s travel season.”

“The timing of the closure is designed to coincide with the off-peak season. Having said that, we regret any inconvenience this might cause. Forestry Tasmania does operate several other campgrounds around the state and we hope those looking to camp in state forest will take the opportunity to use one of our other facilities.

“When the campground re-opens, we will provide some interpretation for Griffin Park users so that they will have a better understanding of the life cycle of a tree plantation.
