Trees Victoria is an incorporated association, with the broad aim of providing stakeholders with a state-wide forum to act collaboratively on issues related to growing trees and to facilitate the expansion and development of tree growing and carbon sequestration and the associated timber industry in Victoria. It has a focus on the issues related to growing trees on private land and the industry associated with that resource and its management. Click here to see the Objectives of Trees Victoria.
Trees Victoria has arisen following the withdrawal of State and Federal government funding for the Private Forestry Development Committees in Victoria. It has been formed with the support and involvement of the four Victorian Private Forestry Development Committees: Gippsland Private Forestry, Plantations North East, Central Victorian Farm Plantations, and Green Triangle Regional Plantation Committee. As a result, Trees Victoria represents the views of stakeholders across the state engaged in the growing, managing, harvesting, transport, and regional processing and export of logs grown on private land across Victoria. Trees Victoria also represents the views of those with an interest in growing fibre for other non wood uses, including carbon sequestration and the production of renewable bioenergy.
Membership of Trees Victoria is freely available to representatives of businesses or organisations involved in the private forestry industry (contact us for further information about membership). A list of Trees Victoria members can be seen here.
