Forestry research and development

PIRSA commissions and completes research through its forestry division. These projects:

  • support industry development
  • build the knowledge base of the South Australian forest industry
  • inform best forest practice across the state.

We also partner with ForestrySA, whose research projects are part of their Community Service Obligation.

Current research

The Trees on Farms Initiative is working on research in these areas:

  1. new plantation management models with shorter rotations
  2. barriers to harvesting smaller forests
  3. suitable land areas for farm-based forestry
  4. Emissions Reduction Fund opportunities
  5. relevant forestry tax information.

See the reports and video presentations of these collaborative research projects.
