Socio-political issues in forestry

In this theory lesson, students will discover some of the key socio-political factors relating to Australian forestry and learn how these relate to land use and the impact of native forest management. They will be provided with information to help develop a balanced understanding of how forestry works to minimise its social and environmental impacts through sustainable forest management and certification.
