A Study of the Old-growth Forests of Gippsland
During the early 1990’s the then Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (CNR) and
the Australian Heritage Commission (AHC) reached joint agreement on a series of studies to
evaluate Victoria’s National Estate values.
One of the studies undertaken involved an investigation of Gippsland’s old-growth forests. The
work was carried out by a team of specialists, and overseen by a Steering Committee that was
established as part of the joint DNRE/AHC National Estate process.
This report provides a brief background to the study, outlines the methodology used, summarises
the results, and briefly discusses the future management of the area’s old-growth forests.
The study has proved to be an essential input into the development of a Regional Forest
Agreement for the area, and will also underpin the work that is under way to prepare a Forest
Management Plan for the area.
