22.01.2022 MechLog considers our employees to be our greatest asset. We have just started five (5) new employees who are undertaking training alongside a Certificate III in Harvesting and Haulage. We are committed to providing training to create a rewarding and efficient work environment, where our employees are adequately trained to use some of the most advanced equipment available in the forestry industry.

22.01.2022 Tree Alliance is a recent endeavor launched by Private Forest Tasmania, raising awareness of farm forestry and the benefits of trees on farms - and encouraging farmers to plant commercially viable trees on existing farmland. Small-scale farm forestry, planting trees with the intention to harvest and replant, is an important part of maintaining the sustainability of Tasmania's vibrant plantation forestry industry. It also has many flow-on benefits to the farm itself and provides increased primary production value on farmland.
