Forest Access
Commercial Forests are Multi-hazard Working Sites
Commercial forests are multi-hazard working sites and therefore access must be carefully managed to ensure the safety of all parties concerned. Access may be closed to all or parts of forest's, managed by TIMBERLANDS Limited, at short notice during periods of high risk (e.g., forest operations, elevated fire danger levels or extreme winds etc).
Anyone wishing to access forest estates managed by TIMBERLANDS Limited, must obtain an ACCESS PERMIT and abide by the General Forest Access Rules & Safety Behaviours (see below). This ensures TIMBERLANDS Limited can provide the registered permit holder with information on hazards and other access conditions.
