Forestry

|  Overview   |


Responsible stewardship is a key issue facing forest managers around the world.

Community expectations demand that forests are managed in a sustainable manner and that forest managers demonstrate their environmental, social and economic performance. Financiers need assurance their investments will deliver economic returns while minimising environmental impacts and avoiding reputation risk.

Forest managers face a complex web of demands in meeting these expectations and continuing to supply forest benefits like wood and non-wood products, carbon sinks, biodiversity conservation, high water quality and recreation opportunities.

GHD's Forestry services combine technical capacity in forestry and ecology with engineering, planning, management and consultation skills – for a complete package of solutions.

Our team can be involved at all levels and stages of project delivery – from planning and project management, through development of vegetation and forest management plans and systems, to auditing and reporting.
