Trees on Farms Initiative

In 2022, the Government of South Australia committed to developing the Trees on Farms Initiative, supported by Australian Government funding. This aligns with the national forest industries plan – Growing a better Australia: A billion trees for jobs and growth.

Farm-based forestry resources

A series of resources are available as a result of the initiative, to help develop on-farm plantations in South Australia:

• establishing and operating a farm-based forestry business
• growing firewood
• ordering seedlings and planting trees
• options for forest landowners
• sustainable landscape management.

Collaborative research projects

PIRSA worked with the Green Triangle Forest Industries Hub (GTFIH) to develop 5 research projects and activities for the Trees on Farms Initiative. Find out about the 5 collaborative research projects, including reports and video presentations for farm-based timber plantings.

See the plantation suitability web application for indicative models to help map your on-farm forest enterprise.
