  • Effectively communicate the benefits of private native and plantation forestry as an integral part of Tasmania’s agricultural growth strategies.
  • Work with government policy makers and regulators at local, state and national levels to improve regulatory efficiency and practical policy settings for private native and plantation forestry.
  • Build organisational capacity by developing our people, knowledge, safety, systems, culture and funding sources.
