Timber Management Policy
A three-tiered Forest Practices Code is under development by the Department of Natural Resources. The Timber Management group is responsible for developing forest-product related codes. Currently the Guidebook for forest products has been implemented as an interim policy on Crown Land. More specific handbooks that support the Forest Products Guidelines are now under development.
