Forest Solutions

01/02/2012 - 2011; a big year for Forest Solutions.

During 2011, Forest Solutions reached that important business benchmark of continuous operation for 3 years, indicating a successful business establishment. “Starting a business in the field of native forest silviculture, bedding it down, then growing it (alongside the trees!) has been a major challenge, but we are really pleased to have met our first major target – to be still operating after three years!”, says Director Owen Bassett. Forest Solutions has been involved with major projects for state government and private industry, and is currently negotiating to assist new clients, including CMAs. We now employ six staff and have partnerships with various other organisations, resulting in significant capacity. A highlight during 2011 has been to assist the state government during their development of new seed management policies, procedures and a new seed processing facility at Laverton North. This significant development will increase the government’s capacity for rapid response forest recovery following major bushfires in Victoria.
