Armidale State Forest
Facilities
Please note that the northern section of the pine plantation in Armidale State Forest has been closed due to safety concerns over the instability of pine trees that died during drought.
A clear-fall operation is set to start in early 2025 to remove dead and dying pine trees, which present a public safety risk.
