Community & Recreation

In order to operate successfully as part of the community, HVP Plantations recognise we have a responsibility to meet social expectations. Having good community relations creates a positive work environment and reduces the risk to our business. We know our customers and their customers appreciate resourcing their products from environmentally and socially acceptable sources.

So our staff work hard to balance the needs of our different stakeholders.

We also know that many community members have an affinity with our forests. We recognise the plantations are a resource for recreation, education and community events. There are a number of different ways people can access HVP land, learn more about Recreational Access below.

Remember – these are working plantations –  you are responsible for your own safety and enter at your own risk.
