It's a frosty start❄️to the 2023 planting season this week, but that hasn’t dampened the spirits of our workers. They're braving the cold conditions (-2 degree Celcius) and busily establishing over 3.3 million pine seedlings🌲in the FPC plantations, more @ bit.ly/42ZwcqF

The FPC is proud to be part of the hard hat recycling initiative, thanks to Lindsay, GIS Officer, who spearheaded the efforts. Read more @https://bit.ly/3OyoSyT

Our nursery team is getting ready to dispatch these 3.3 million pine seedlings to their next home. Many will be allocated to newly established plantations across the South West as a pit stop on their journey towards being a future house frame/other pine timber product for WA.

It’s #IntlForestDay & the FPC supports the theme ‘forests & health’. Our forests provide fresh air, houses, carbon offsets, furniture, health & wellbeing through sport & exercise, & a low carbon future. #ForestDay #ForestsandHealth #sustainableforestry #foresthealth

We strive to engage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, communities and businesses in economic opportunities and integrating cultural values into forest management for the benefit of future generations.

Through our RAP we will create more opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the timber industry. We are implementing innovative procurement practices to do this. #MoreThanAWord #NRW2021

The FPC strives toward achieving reconciliation within its sphere of influence. We are committed to increasing economic participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in the timber industry. #MoreThanAWord #NRW2021

We recognise Aboriginal custodianship of Country since the Dreaming. Building relationships with Traditional Owners enhances two-way knowledge sharing, teaches us about Country and improves our business practices. #MoreThanAWord #NRW2021

Did you know in WA, less than 1% of the regrowth native forest area is made available for timber production and that 1% is always regenerated?

We’re proud to announce the launch of our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)! The FPC’s Innovate RAP progresses our reconciliation journey and focuses on developing and strengthening relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. #MoreThanAWord #NRW2021

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) 2021 is running from 27 May to 3 June 2021. Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories and explore achieving reconciliation in Australia. #MoreThanAWord #NRW2021

Forestry is the science or practice of planting, managing, and caring for forests. That’s what our foresters do to make sure there’s timber and forests for the future.

In Albany with staff from @watercorpwa @fpcwa @DWER_WA @deptcommunities Great people doing great work for WA.

Today we launched the Blue Tree Project which is an initiative to encourage people to seek support for mental health and to spread the message that its ok, not to be ok. Mental health is not a weakness. Start the conversation and remove the stigma.

Our Community Support Program is closing this Wednesday! If you haven’t applied yet, make sure you do it before 5pm on 28 April 2021. For more information, visit wa.gov.au/service/commun…
