Did you know the trees that make up Australia’s total plantation forestry estate store a vast amount of carbon, helping fight climate change, the same amount of carbon created by more than 56 million cars driving for a whole year!

Australia’s forestry industries support around 80,000 direct jobs nationally and another 100,000 indirectly, many of which underpin rural and regional communities.

We all know planting trees helps fight climate change. But did you know planting, growing and harvesting forestry trees allows us to create essential and renewable products like house-frames, cardboard boxes and even paper straws!

We’re looking forward to celebrating National Forestry Day on August 19!
