SUMMARY
Multiple-use objectives are essential in every field of forest management in order that the greatest benefit may be obtained by the nation. Forests tend to occupy the residual lands from both physical and economic aspects and these are largely the watersheds of the country.
Timber production is essential to Australia and is intimately associated with water yield. Grazing and recreation are incidental uses of the forests.
Traditionally the forester has pioneered watershed protection, fought the battle against fire, and regenerated or planted the timber crops for the future.
Wide outlook and more intensive research and management are necessary, and paramount is the protection of the timber and water values of the forested watersheds.
