30 Other non-forest products licensed in the Southern region during 2007–2008 included intangible products such as film documentary permits (24), communication site permits (37), transmission lines, cables and pipelines (625 km), and permits for other structures (19). In the Eden region, there were four beekeepers across 21 sites, with an unknown number of hives. Currently there are limited data for other non-timber products although two permits were issued for communication sites and one permit for other structures.

The effective stocking rate in all regions remains high. Plantations established 19 The area of 2007 age class plantation established in all regions was 577 ha. This is made up of 394 ha of new hardwood plantation and 183 ha of new softwood plantation. 19 Data reported for Southern FA have previously included Goulburn sub-region. This has been corrected for this report, with the previous year’s data also amended. This was due to a collating error in the SEEDS database. NSW FOREST AGREEMENTS AND INTEGRATED FORESTRY OPERATIONS APPROVALS
The total area of re-establishment was 3725 ha; the majority being softwood re-establishment in Southern (2247 ha) and Eden (971 ha). The area of plantations established or re-established is reported as the net stocked area (excluding buffers and so forth) at the time of reporting. Minor changes may occur due to failed areas or reassessments.

Source: Forests NSW data Effective stocking rates The effective stocking rate is the survival of planted trees one year after planting at a level that promotes a cost-effective return upon harvest. Softwood plantation stocking rates have generally been effective over previous reporting years, with the exception of 2003–2004. Effective stocking rates were higher in all regions after drought conditions eased. In the Southern (85%) and Eden (100%) regions effective stocking rates represented improvements on the previous year (figure 2-2D). The effective stocking rate for LNE and UNE in 2007–2008 was 100%. It should be noted that hardwood and softwood plantation areas with effective stocking rates below 90% received additional restocking.
