Muskett Family Forest Certification

We are certified to the Australian Standard® for Sustainable Forest Management (AS 4708). The Australian Standard for Sustainable Forest Management underpins and supports the Responsible Wood Certification System. The Responsible Wood system is based on credible Australian standards developed under the robust Standards development process endorsed by Standards Australia.

The Muskett Family forest block is located near Uxbridge in the lower Derwent Valley, Tasmania. The block has been in the Muskett family for several generations and contains an area of mixed forest and a significant stand of superior quality timber comprising Swamp Gum (Eucalyptus regnans) Stringy Bark (Eucalyptus obliqua) and Gum-top Stringy Bark (Eucalyptus delegatensis). This stand will be managed with the care and respect that has become synonymous with the Muskett name. This meticulous approach will provide ongoing benefits for future generations.

Our latest external Audit is available on request and our Forest Management Plan can be downloaded from our documentation page.
