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.
