Forest Research Institute

UniSC’s Forest Research Institute undertakes work in the broad spectrum of forestry research areas that make direct and meaningful contributions to the sustainability of our wooded landscapes. This includes important areas of studies such as smallholder and forest conservation-based research, along with work to ensure industries are meeting regulatory requirements and public expectations.

Research centres

The Institute is comprised of three Centres. Each has an individual identity and research focus but they work collaboratively for greater impact.
