A major Tasmanian timber processor has stopped taking old-growth logs, backing a shared push to protect the island’s ancient forests as cultural and ecological assets

Neville Smith Group will no longer accept old-growth timber deliveries immediately. This decision supports a broader industry effort to protect ancient forests. The move aligns with a "Shared Vision Statement" for sustainable forestry practices. This statement seeks common ground after decades of environmental disagreements. The company's shift is expected to have a limited operational impact.
