St<strong>and</strong>ing volume <strong>of</strong> species logged<br />

Indicator 2.3: St<strong>and</strong>ing volume <strong>of</strong> log stocks by species groups <strong>and</strong> diameter-at-breast height class for multi-aged <strong>and</strong><br />
regrowth native forest <strong>and</strong> available for timber production by l<strong>and</strong> tenure (Eden region)<br />
No new data are available from Forests NSW on this indicator for this reporting period.<br />
Species <strong>and</strong> royalty <strong>of</strong> logs harvested<br />

Indicator 6.1: Average volume <strong>and</strong> royalty value <strong>of</strong> logs harvested per annum by species <strong>and</strong> grade by tenure (Eden region)<br />
(This indicator was defined within the Eden region set <strong>of</strong> criteria <strong>and</strong> indicators under Criterion 6 – Socioeconomic<br />
Benefits. For continuity <strong>of</strong> reporting it has been included under Criterion 2 – Productive capacity <strong>of</strong><br />
forest ecosystems.)<br />
No outcomes to report<br />
Indicator 2.1.b: Annual removal <strong>of</strong> timber <strong>and</strong> non-timber products from forest ecosystems, compared with those estimated to<br />
be ecologically sustainable by tenure (Eden region)<br />
Indicator 2.1.d: Annual removal <strong>of</strong> timber products <strong>and</strong> non-timber products from forest ecosystems by volume (Eden region)<br />
Indicator 2.1.e: Annual removal <strong>of</strong> non-timber forest products (e.g. berries, mushrooms, game, honey, wildflowers, tree ferns<br />
<strong>and</strong> possums) compared with the sustainable level (Southern region)<br />
These indicators are applicable to the Eden <strong>and</strong> Southern regions. However, for Forests NSW, data have been provided on the<br />
quantities <strong>of</strong> non-timber products harvested in all regions (including the UNE <strong>and</strong> LNE regions).<br />
The quantities <strong>of</strong> non-timber products removed from State forests have generally decreased across all<br />
regions. For national parks, honey continues to be the key non-timber product obtained.<br />
Data <strong>and</strong> interpretation<br />
Forests NSW<br />
State forests are a source <strong>of</strong> numerous non-timber forest products. For the purpose <strong>of</strong> measurement<br />
against this indicator, non-timber products in State forests have been identified as those products that<br />
are not supplied to sawmills or processing plants. Non-timber forest products include firewood, seed,<br />
gravel <strong>and</strong> bark. In addition to non-timber products, Forests NSW also continues to provide details on<br />
commercial activities that occur in State forests (such as beekeeping <strong>and</strong> grazing).<br />
Specific details <strong>of</strong> actual products <strong>and</strong> quantities <strong>of</strong> products taken from State forests, by region, are<br />
provided in Table 2-2E.<br />
