About Us

Special Species Timber

Sustainable Timber Tasmania manages approximately 52,700 hectares of PTPZ land as a special species timbers zone and this is the primary source of special species timber. The zone is comprised of blackwood forests, rainforests and eucalypt forests that are rich in special species timbers.

Fire Management

Sustainable Timber Tasmania is one of the State’s key firefighting agencies. We are obliged to control and extinguish any bushfires that occur on the land we manage, and many of our staff are trained firefighters, planners and incident controllers.

Our 2020 Fingal Bushfire Story is now available to read.
