Forest Asset Management

SFM offer landowners natural resource management services so that their forest is managed to maximise returns from establishment through to harvest. SFM offers this service for both plantation and native forest resources. SFM has the capability to undertake all property and agistment management, stakeholder engagement, harvesting and sales logistics, fire management, stand records maintenance, and financial administration on behalf of the landowners

SFM’s team of forestry professionals have extensive experience in native forest and plantation asset management within Australia. Our team aim to provide landowners with seamless and transparent operations that maximise returns and provide the best silvicultural outcomes for the resource.

Nothing is more important to SFM than safety. As managers of forest operations we have a duty of care to ensure forest operations are carried out in a manner that minimise workers exposure to the risk of injury. SFM achieves this through its Safety Management System.

SFM carries certification under Quality Management System ISO 9001, the Australian Forestry Standard AS-4708 and the Forest Stewardship Council FM/COC.  The AFS and FSC principles along with the associated management systems underpin the SFM business. SFM offers landowners the opportunity to have their forests included in The SFM Group Scheme which facilitates AFS or FSC certification over the area.

SFM is able to provide modern solutions for financial management, stand record management of the estate and the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for mapping and harvest planning capabilities.
