Facilities

Wingello State Forest includes pine plantation and hardwood forest with stands of peppermint, manna gum and stringybarks.

It is popular with mountain bike riders. Forests in this area are a mixture of pine plantations and native forests. The first radiata pines were planted in this area in Belanglo State Forest in 1919.

Today there are around 3,500 hectares of commercial pine plantations in the southern highlands with timber being processed at a local mill.

Today's forest management practices protect biodiversity, soil and water quality and cultural heritage sites while also allowing for sustainable timber production.
