Mundaroo State Forest Harvesting Operations

Forestry Corporation of NSW will be conducting harvesting operations in the pine plantation in Mundaroo State Forest adjacent the Hume & Hovell Track, commencing 4 November 2024.

The harvesting operations will be conducted in the pink area, as outlined in the map below (area supplied by Forestry Corporation of NSW).
The affected section of the track is between Munderoo Access Road and Munderoo Campsite, approximately 5.5km from the Mannus Glenroy Road heading south along the Track.

Signage will be placed on the track at the entry points of the harvesting operation with contact information for walkers. The track will remain open to walkers but to ensure a safe walkway through the affected area (approx. 2.5km of track), walkers are advised to follow instructions from Forestry Corporation and be aware of log truck movements along the road. The Hume & Hovell Track Route is indicated by the maroon dotted line below.

Work will be underway throughout November 2024 and summer months.

Track Managers advise walkers to use caution when passing through this section. You must remain on the track and ensure you are prepared with sufficient supplies and water in the event that delays are experienced. Be mindful when passing through this section as there may be increased traffic on nearby forestry roads as the harvesting operations are undertaken.

Please note: the Hume & Hovell Track passes through numerous land tenures which means access and management may be impacted by the governing body. This includes chemical usage, harvesting operations, road works and maintenance.
