“So far more than 300 photos have been entered for the competition, entrants include colourful trees, forest landscapes, people working or animals living in our beloved forests,” Mr Ross said.

“As it stands more than 90% of Australia’s commercial forests are covered by Responsible Wood certification, these include state forests, plantation estates and those run by forestry agencies along with many privately-owned forests.”

“So next time you are in a forest – be it for work or leisure –take your camera and snap to it!”
