Forest Manager's Comments:

For second lift pruning operations in Wayleggo No. 62 we will target a 5.0 metre prune lift ensuring each tree retains a minimum green crown of 3.5 metres, we also aim for an average stocking of 350 sph (stems per hectare). Completion of second lift is scheduled for June 2010. First lift pruning in Scotts Bush No. 63 commenced in April 2009. Forest data collect by GFM Ltd show positive results; final pruning is scheduled for early 2011.

Grazing of the forest will assist with operational work but also keeps grass short for the drier summer months when fire risks are greatest. Constant monitoring of forests by our staff enables us to deal with any health or pest problems immediately.
