VicForests appoint new Chief ExecutiveFriday 16 Mar 2012 VicForests has appointed a new chief executive as it reassesses its role as the seller of timber from Victoria's native forests the Sydney Morning Herald reports. The new chief, Robert Green, was previously VicForests' director of sales and contracts. Mr Green has strong international experience in many facets of forestry. He previously worked in fibre supply, marketing and distribution and business development for several timber NZ companies, including Carter Holt Harvey. He was general manager of Snavely Forest Products in San Francisco before joining VicForests.Mr Green said the state government was reviewing the legislation that governed VicForests. Mr Green's appointment follows a critical but largely positive assessment of VicForests' first five years of operation conducted by consultant URS for Treasury. Among the proposed changes are two key related moves: giving VicForests control over the part of native forest available to industry; and giving native timber processors more resource security through long-term contracts of up to 20 years.
