The Mole Creek Karst Forest Programme
The Mole Creek Karst Forest Programme is entirely voluntary and designed to financially assist Mole Creek landowners to protect the forest over karst on their property. It aims to protect up to 2,400 hectares of private forested land in the Mole Creek area with funding capped at $3.6 million, as part of the Tasmanian Community Forest Agreement.
The registration of interest period closed on 28 February 2007.
The Tasmanian Community Forest Agreement is a joint commitment of the Australian and Tasmanian Governments to enhance protection of Tasmania’s forest environment and growth in the Tasmanian forest industry and forestry jobs. The governments are committing over $250 million to revitalise the timber industry and preserve old-growth forests.
Much of the private land near the Mole Creek Karst National Park contains many of the environmental values that lead to the park's creation in December 1996. The park is a haven of limestone caves, beautiful scenery and plentiful wildlife. The protection of the forest and cave systems of the park will be enhanced by complementary conservation of the private land in the nearby region.
Further information on the Programme is available in the Mole Creek Karst Forest Programme Fact Sheets.
