Important Notices and News
Forest Owners win major environmental award
An environmental code that includes compulsory rules and best practice guidelines that members of the Forest Owners Association must observe in their day-to-day forestry operations has won a prestigious national award. See our news page for details.
Change of Locked Gate Location (Silverpeaks Forest)
Due to increasing problems with unauthorised and dangerous activity in Silverpeaks Forest we have reluctantly decided to reduce casual vehicle access along Mountain Track by shifting the locked gate south on this road (view map) . Limited-term entry permits and keys are available on application to our office for recreational users who have a legitimate need to gain vehicle access beyond the locked gate. Members of the public may continue to access the forest on foot under the usual terms of forest entry.
Fires
Please, if you see any sign of smoke or fire coming from our forests dial 111 to report it.
