There were two additional regeneration surveys carried out when compared to the previous reporting<br />
period. Forests NSW carried out 14 regeneration surveys in <strong>2007</strong>–<strong>2008</strong> over an area <strong>of</strong> 2298 ha <strong>of</strong><br />
State forest. No regeneration surveys occurred in the Eden region in <strong>2007</strong>–<strong>2008</strong> (which obtained a<br />
100% regeneration rate in the previous reporting period).<br />
Data indicate that effective regeneration rates remain high (about 100% regeneration per hectare<br />
when the area <strong>of</strong> surveys are taken into account) (see Figure 2-2E). Results for 2006–<strong>2007</strong> also<br />
showed a regeneration rate <strong>of</strong> 100% in UNL, LNE <strong>and</strong> Southern regions. As stated, regeneration<br />
was not measured in Eden region in <strong>2007</strong>–<strong>2008</strong>.<br />
