Recent statements from all sides of the timber industry show that there is going to be an increased interest in private plantations. SWAN and AFG already field inquiries from people interested in specific types of timber highlighting a need to manage this information.
SWAN can provide a benefit to growers across the southwest by co-ordinating a register of timber assets on private land. This would mean that any opportunities for new markets could be matched with the register to ensure that any available timber is utilised.
At the last executive meeting, the committee agreed to offer this service and the required systems are being designed.
If you are paid up a financial member of AFG, this will be included in your member benefits, but to ensure it becomes a viable initiative we would also like to extend the register to include any timber growers for a small annual fee.
More details will be provided in the April newsletter when the payment portal and database are set up and tested. Please contact Richard with any feedback or suggestions for this initiative, mobile 0429 926 731 or email. richard.w.moore2@gmail.com
