Tropical timbers teak and African mahogany have long been regarded for their natural beauty and durability and are used extensively for furniture and appearance grade timber. The Great Southern 2008 High Value Timber Project provides investors with the opportunity to commercially grow plantation teak and African mahogany in Australia’s northern regions, which is suited to the production of tropical hardwood species.

 

By becoming a grower in the Great Southern 2008 High Value Timber Project, investors can commercially grow these highly valued timbers to ease pressure on Australia’s native forests and its dependence on imports, and provide global markets with a renewable substitute for diminishing native supplies.
