Wingello State Forest

The large 1200+ ha forest is owned by the New South Wales Government and includes pine plantations, hardwood forest and native forests with stands of peppermint, manna gum and stringybarks. It is popular with mountain bike riders. The first radiata pines were planted in this area in Belanglo State Forest in 1919. Today there are around 3,500 hectares of commercial pine plantations in the southern highlands

Sustainable Forest Management
State Forests in NSW provide timber, employment, habitat, clean air, water and a place to be. They are resilient, dynamic and evolving – an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. State Forests are managed to ensure a sustainable supply of timber today and into the future. Plantation and native forests make up the State Forest estate.
