Planting season wraps up in the Green TriangleFriday 22 Aug 2025
Nursery manager Craig Torney said thanks to a new shed and infrastructure improvements, most operations are now undercover, reducing the impact of weather and creating a more comfortable working environment for the nursery team. “The nursery was buzzing during what was another busy season,” Craig said. “It was great to see our upgraded facility in full operation.” The nursery supplies seedlings not only for OneFortyOne’s forests but also for a range of forest growers across the Green Triangle. The OneFortyOne estate team works together closely to coordinate the complex delivery program, ensuring each planting crew receives the right trees at the right time. “We know what trees need to go where and to which planting crew at what time,” Craig said. “This good management means the program is spread out over eight or nine weeks, rather than being compressed into a shorter, more intense period.” “Combined with our upgraded systems, it made the season far less hectic and we’ve definitely seen and heard that feedback from our nursery team.” OneFortyOne Estate Manager Marcel Griffiths said the planting program covered 1,826 hectares, supported by three dedicated planting crews working tirelessly over 51 workdays. “The Nursery and silviculture teams delivered an outstanding performance this season,” Marcel said. “Their coordination and professionalism ensured the program ran smoothly and efficiently.” With planting complete, focus now shifts to ensuring these seedlings establish well and grow into healthy, productive forests.
