Welcome to Forestry SA. South Australia's commercial, community and native Forest manager since 1875. We manage public access and nature-based recreation across 33,000 hectares of forest reserves within SA’s Mount Lofty Ranges and Limestone Coast. There is plenty to see and do, with over 1,000,000 people visiting each year for activities such as camping and accommodation, bushwalking, hiking, running, bike riding, horse riding, fossicking, orienteering and rogaining, wedding ceremonies and so much more.
Forestry is the science of establishing, managing and conserving forests, while management of a plantation forest is known as silviculture. We operate as an innovative and sustainable plantation forestry business, producing and marketing high quality products. All trees in our 10,000ha Mount Lofty Ranges plantation estate are replanted following harvest, allowing sustainable timber production well into the future.
