Forest Management Plan 2004-2013

The Forest Management Plan 2004-2013 covers all land categories vested in the Conservation Commission, and freehold land that contains native vegetation held in the name of the Executive Director of the Department of Conservation and Land Management, within the Department's Swan, South West and Warren Regions. However, there is a focus on the management of State forest and timber reserves because it is primarily on these land categories that disturbance activities are permitted.

The Conservation Commission's overall objective in formulating the plan is for biodiversity to be conserved, the health, vitality and productive capacity of ecosystems to be sustained, and the social, cultural and economic benefits valued by the community to be produced in a manner taking account of the principles of ecologically sustainable forest management.
