Postwar timber policy aims to conserve forests and re forest land
Kyogle Shire Council backed conservation of forest wealth warning against opening Richmond Range for dairying. Government plans include broad re afforestation, use of Crown lands for forestry, and native silviculture to rebuild timber stocks, with postwar labour and exotic species to meet housing and rural stability needs. The program seeks to curb soil erosion, preserve watercourses, and boost state economy while engaging rural communities.
