THE plantation forests of the Glasshouse Mountains are more than just trees.
They are productive, working landscapes that deliver environmental, economic and social benefits for Queensland today and for generations to come.
For HQPlantations, managing these forests is about much more than growing trees.
It is about producing a renewable resource that ultimately becomes homes and other essential products, while also managing fire, protecting waterways and conservation areas, maintaining forest health and providing opportunities for responsible recreation.
HQPlantations recognises that their plantation forests are a significant part of the local landscape.
They are places where people work, ride, walk, explore and create memories.
While the public might only see the trees, tracks and mountains, behind the scenes is a complex operation involving foresters, harvest crews, firefighters, scientists, contractors and many other people working to manage the forest safely and sustainably.
HQPlantations believe that good forestry is not just about what happens to the trees. It is about how we manage the land, how we protect the things that matter, how we work with our neighbours and how we leave the forest for the next generation.
