sustainable forest management - Forestry Tasmania

Old Forests, New Management Conference
As part of the quest for continuous improvement, Forestry
Tasmania is always looking to other parts of the world to
see how other forest ecosystems are managed, in the hope
of finding ideas and practices that can be successfully
applied in Tasmania’s wet eucalypt forests. As part of this
endeavour, Forestry Tasmania co-hosted the Old Forests,
New Management conference in February 2008.
The conference was attended by approximately 250
delegates from 20 different countries and featured some
90 speakers - including scientists from Forestry Tasmania
who discussed their experience on the diverse aspects
of managing and understanding old forests and forest
ecosystems.
The conference showed that forest management in
Tasmania is among the world’s best and that Tasmania has
developed expertise in managing for multiple values and
benefits.
