Sustainability

I am an independent auditor of forest management practices.

I make sure forests are being managed sustainably throughout Australia and New Zealand. I also guide others in my field internationally.

To pass my audit, forest managers must maintain or enhance biodiversity, maintain the productive capacity of the forest, maintain forest ecosystem health and vitality, protect soil and water resources, and maintain or enhance the forests’ contribution to the carbon cycle, to name a few. Only then can they achieve Responsible Wood Certification.

Sustainable Forest Management Certification provides assurances that forests are conserved and managed responsibly to ensure they deliver social, environmental, cultural and economic benefits now and into the future.

I’m keeping an eye on Tasmania’s forests, and I can assure you that Tasmania’s certified forest management practices are amongst the best in the world.

About

About this campaign.

This campaign aims to shed light on the industry behind Tasmanian Timber.

It is an industry filled with forward thinkers, value adders, researchers and innovators. Our timber is sourced from forests that are sustainably managed, independently audited and certified to an internationally acclaimed standard. The end product is revered by designer makers, architects, interior designers and furniture makers. And, our timber is playing a significant role in the global fight against climate change, because timber is The Ultimate Renewable resource. And that’s something we can all be proud of.

This campaign is supported by the Tasmanian Timber Promotion Board, the Forest Industries Association of Tasmania, Fine Timber Tasmania, Responsible Wood and many others.
