With more than 300,000 hectares under management, we are one of the largest plantation forest growers in Australia and genuine stewards of the land and environment that we protect, maintain and enhance. Managing productive, healthy, carbon sequestering plantation forests in a sustainable way for generations to come is at the heart of everything we do and recognised by our Responsible Wood and FSC certification to Australian and international standards. Our continuous cycle of growth ensures our collective values are perpetually maintained while producing a constant supply of plantation timber for many important products used by everyday Australians, including important building materials for homes. We are deeply rooted in regional Queensland, mindful and respectful of our neighbours, supportive of our local communities and contributing to regionally significant economies enhanced by our local customers and contractor partners. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians and First Nations Peoples of the land on which we work, live and learn and seek opportunities to grow together. We pay our respects to their ancestors and Elders past, present and emerging and thank them for enriching us with their cultural practices, traditions, lore and connection to country. We manage our forests with care for the future, minimising disruption and disturbance to land, water, wildlife and communities, and contributing to a better and more sustainable world for everyone.
