MIG indicator 2.1.g: Area and percent of harvested area of native forest effectively regenerated (UNE, LNE, Eden, Southern regions)
Native forest regeneration surveys conducted in the LNE and Southern regions this year
indicated high effective regeneration rates.
Data and interpretation
PWG of DECC – yearly data/information discussion
In previous years, the PWG has recorded the regeneration of previously harvested lands transferred
from State Forest to the reserve system under the Forest Agreement process. No land is harvested in
the reserve system. Although PWG continues to regenerate its lands where necessary, there has been
no new information on this indicator since the 2004–2005 reporting period for DECC estate.

Forests NSW regenerate harvested native forest to re-establish pre-harvest forest structure and
species composition, specific to each forest type and locality. Surveys identify effective regeneration
rates.
