Forest ecosystem health




What is the extent and condition and health of NSW forests, and what are the predicted trajectories?

There is about 20.5 million hectares of forest cover in NSW. Effectively monitoring the condition and health of such a large area presents an enormous challenge. NSW's forests are some of the most diverse in Australia, ranging from sub-alpine woodlands to semi-arid forests, sub-tropical rainforests, and floodplain woodlands to forested woodlands.
