Forestry in NT

Plantation forestry is the second largest production land use in the Northern Territory (NT) after beef grazing, with more than 42,000 hectares of the NT currently growing forest products.

NT Forestry History

Forestry in the north has a longer history than most realise and has meant so much more than simply
the extraction of timber. For example; on Melville Island (north of Darwin) it has been supporting the culture, ceremony and way of life for the Tiwi people for many thousands of years.
