Today we celebrate National Forestry Day!

From sustainably produced Tasmanian Oak, used for high-end decorative applications, to the essential pallet that transports fresh produce and consumer goods across Australia, forestry is part of everyday life.

At Neville Smith Forest Products, we are proud of the products we make from sustainably managed forests, supporting local jobs and communities.

We are investing in sustainable private estates to ensure Tasmanian timber can be enjoyed for generations to come.

This National Forestry Day, we celebrate the people, products, and communities that make our forestry industry strong.

NSFP is proud to sponsor the Huon She Shed, a community-based, not-for-profit organisation creating a safe and welcoming space for women in the Huon Valley to connect, build skills, and grow in confidence through hands-on woodworking and creative projects.

Women of all ages, backgrounds and abilities come together to learn practical skills like woodworking and home repairs, helping to reduce social isolation and support mental wellbeing, especially in rural communities.

With plans to introduce hand carving next year, the She Shed continues to expand what’s possible for its members.

As the major supporter, NSFP is proud to help make it possible for the Huon She Shed to provide the timber, tools and space where women can play, practice and perfect their projects, while learning from skilled volunteers who generously share their time and knowledge.

Together, we’re growing a stronger Huon community.

We were delighted to welcome clients, industry partners, and team members—along with the Honourable Julie Collins MP, Federal Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry—to celebrate the opening of our brand-new pallet manufacturing facility at NSFP Southwood.

With a $14 million investment, Southwood is now Australia’s largest and most advanced end-to-end pallet manufacturing facility. Here, sustainably grown and harvested Plantation Nitens are transformed into high-value pallets right here in Tasmania, adding value locally rather than being woodchipped and sent offshore.

Equipped with cutting-edge processing technology, Southwood is Australia’s only log-to-pallet manufacturing facility, capable of producing 3,500 pallets daily. These pallets are essential to Australia’s logistics network, helping secure and strengthen supply chains across the country.

NSFP timber is sourced from sustainably harvested, fully certified government and privately owned regrowth and plantation estates.

CEO Andrew Walker says "Our commitment to sustainability, waste reduction, innovation and a collaborative approach to working with native forest stakeholders has helped NSFP become one of the leaders in sustainable forestry practices within Tasmania."

Today is National Forestry Day for 2022 and we are celebrating the work of forestry in Tasmania and Australia. Planting, growing and harvesting forestry trees allows us to create essential and renewable products in a sustainable way.

Australia’s forestry industries support around 80,000 direct jobs nationally and another 100,000 indirectly, many of which underpin rural and regional communities.

Australian forestry plants around 70 million new trees every year, enough to cover 136,000 football fields. Forestry support jobs, communities and helps sequester carbon.
