VISION OF FOREST MANAGEMENT IN THE STATE
Our forests in future years -
•Will be sustainable, support biological diversity, maintain
ecological and evolutionary processes and be highly productive.
•Will be maintained and enhanced across the landscape, expanding
through reforestation and restoration where ecologically, environmentally
and culturally appropriate in order to meet the expanding needs of population
•Will sustainably provide a range of goods, service, experiences
and values that contribute to community well-being, economic opportunity,
social and personal satisfaction, spiritual and cultural fulfilment
and recreational enjoyment
•Will be managed consistent with strategies and policies that
foster forest integrity and maintain a broad range of ecological, economic
and social values and benefits
•Will be enhanced by policies that encourage both public and private
investment
•Will be managed with consideration for the global implication
of land, stewardship - a stewardship ethic with respect, reverence and
humility
•Will be held in a variety of public, private, community ownership
by owners those rights are respected and who understand and accept their
responsibility as stewards.
