TREE FARMING
Western Australia is feeling the effects of climate change and decreasing rainfall patterns. The state also contains more than 70% of Australia's reported dryland salinity and clearing of native vegetation has contributed to excess groundwater, soil salinity, water-logging and wind erosion.
Combined, these factors have serious negative impacts on land profitability, health of remnant vegetation, wetland systems and biodiversity.
Prior to 2010, FPC offered tailor-made tree farming options for landholders designed to deliver environmental, economic and social benefit in rural areas, particularly for those in medium rainfall areas. These services are now been taken on by private forestry sector within Western Australia.
