Sustainable Forestry at Scale
MWO manages more than 10,000 hectares of plantations located in the southeastern region of Western Australia and the Green Triangle region of Victoria and South Australia. The predominant species cultivated include Eucalyptus globulus and Radiata pine. The primary end products derived from these operations encompass pulp & paper, and construction materials, among others. With over 30 years of experience in forest management, MWO has developed expertise in all aspects of plantation development, from establishment to harvesting. MWO takes pride in holding certifications from both the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), which affirm its commitment to responsible and sustainable forestry practices.
Our Wood Types
Eucalyptus Globulus
Also known as "The Tasmanian blue gum" is a tree species of considerable commercial importance, extensively cultivated across southern Australia and in Mediterranean climates worldwide.
This species is typically managed as a short-rotation crop, with a growth cycle of 10 to 15 years. It yields high-quality woodchips, which are primarily exported for use in pulp and paper manufacturing in Asia.
Radiata Pine
Also known as "Pinus radiata" is arguably the preeminent plantation forestry species in Australia, extensively grown throughout southern regions of the country.
Radiata pine is utilised in the production of mass timber items, including cross-laminated and glue-laminated beams, as well as in the creation of paper and packaging products, encompassing newsprint and cardboard.
Collaborative Forestry Partnerships
The MWO plantation project encompasses several schemes, including the development of both freehold and leasehold plantation projects. We aim to collaborate with business partners through various schemes, such as joint venture partnerships. Our approach also involves working closely with private landowners to explore different schemes that fit their needs. Additionally, we provide property management services by leveraging our expertise in forest management.
