Our products

Our timber products come from certified forestry estates in Australasia – specialising in high-quality, hardwood and softwood chip and log from Australia’s finest eucalyptus plantations.

We are proud that our plantations are what we call selective breeding, where we select the best tree types based on a number of factors, with no genetic modifications.

New Forests Timber Products also provides timber sales services in support of New Forests’ other plantation investments, with plantation softwoods in New Zealand and plantation hardwoods in Southeast Asia.

We offer customers a connection to high-quality plantation resources that deliver wood fibre with consistent and reliable specifications.

This straightforward supply chain and our plantation partners’ experience in forest management and harvesting, means that New Forests Timber Products delivers the product clients need, and on time.
