Specialty timber sector an iconic part of Tasmania’s brand
Labor is committed to working with the sector
A tread widely, tread lightly approach will set us up for the future
Labor welcomes the release of the Special Species Management Plan.
Shadow Minister for Forestry, David Llewellyn, said Labor had been a consistent supporter of the special species timber sector.
“The speciality timbers sector is an important employer and an iconic part of the Tasmanian brand,” Mr Llewellyn said.
“In order to maintain supply of special species timber for the future, we need to ensure the resource is managed sustainably and responsibly.
“That’s why we support a tread widely, tread lightly approach to harvesting, as well as the long rotations necessary to replenish the resource.
“This report will help to inform the sustainable management of the special species resource for the future.”
