The NSW forest agreement regions dataset contains the boundaries of the four current NSW forest agreements which cover the eastern areas of NSW. The regions include the Upper North East, Lower North East, Eden and Southern. NSW forest agreements provide a framework for long-term decisions on forest use and management. They were formed from consultation and consensus established between the NSW Government and major forest stakeholders. Forest agreements impart certainty for industry, conservation and the community. They deliver on the NSW Government's forest policy to: • protect environmental values in a world-class system of national parks and other reserves • encourage the creation of forest industries that are strong, competitive and ecologically sustainable • manage native forests in an ecologically sustainable way. The agreements are for 20 years and progress on their implementation is reported annually. Further information on each NSW forest agreement is available on the EPA website at http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/forestagreements/FAS.htm
