Kingsland Forest, on the flanks of the Barnicoat Range that forms the backdrop to Richmond, is a Council-owned plantation forestry block that has become a popular recreation destination for bikers and walkers.
A new harvesting cycle is about to start in Kingsland Forest. We’re proposing to gradually retire Kingsland Forest from commercial forestry operations as plantation forestry blocks mature and are harvested over the next 20 years.
We’re considering replanting in a mix of native and permanent exotic trees, allowing us to progressively improve recreational tracks and facilities over time.
This is where you come in – what’s your vision for the future of Kingsland Forest?
