Forestry Developments in NSW Highlight State Forest Policy
The Country Party forestry policy now under government, emphasizes forests as active community assets. NSW State Forests run 3000 miles of roads aiding sawmills, cutting transport costs, and providing bushfire arterial protection. From 1934 to 1940, £702,000 funded these projects, boosting local employment and preparing timber supplies for wartime demand. Residents praise the Baradine district forest works and the Pilliga Forest fire suppression plan, with a full-time Forestry Commission road program.
