New Forests & Timberlink partner in 'Wood for Good' video

Friday 26 Jul 2024

New Forests and Timberlink joined forces to showcase the entire lifecycle of sustainable forestry, from seedling to sawmill, and the creation of eco-friendly products like CLT and GLT. This partnership was featured on Channel 10’s ‘Planet Shapers’ program, which celebrates positive sustainability stories.

A core message of the segment was the critical role of land use in combating climate change. Sarah Clawson, New Forests’ Global Head of Investor Relations, visited Mt Gambier in South Australia to explain the process, from nursery to mill, and emphasized timber and land’s vital part in mitigating climate change. She highlighted that the land use sector can contribute up to 30% of the solution.

“As we shift towards a low-carbon future, wood will replace carbon-intensive materials like cement and steel in construction. It’s the ultimate renewable resource,” said Clawson.

Timberlink’s Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, Simon Angove, and NeXTimber Brand Manager, Georgia Coutsodimitropoulos, also appeared in the video, discussing the mill’s innovative processes and the development of engineered wood products that capture and store carbon.
