SWAN and AFG regularly field inquiries from people interested in specific types of timber. This highlights a need to manage this information, especially with the increasing interest in private plantations, to address a predicted shortfall of timber in the future.
AFG SWAN Branch is co-ordinating a register of timber assets on private land. This will benefit growers across the South West WA by matching their timber with any opportunities for existing and new markets.
If you are paid up a financial member of AFG, this is included in your member benefits, but to ensure it becomes a viable initiative we have extended the register to include any timber growers for a small annual fee.
This is the link to fill in details of your trees and plantings e.g. area, species, purpose, date planted, thinned, pruned height etc
