🌲 Forestry – it’s more than just growing trees! 🌱

It’s about the people, the communities, and the opportunity to build our state. 💚🏡

South Australia is proudly the birthplace of the nation's commercial forestry plantations - starting 150 years ago!

🌳 That legacy continues today as an industry that grows tiny seedlings into structural timber frames, producing essential wood fibre products needed in our every day life, whilst also leading the change on climate action.

At , we’re proud to shine a light on the individuals behind the scenes – the people who make the forest and timber industries what they are today: authentic, purposeful, and future-focused.

We are South Australia's forest industries.

After 1,312 days with SAFPA, we’re saying farewell to our Communications Advisor, Haley Welch – and what a contribution she has made.

Haley has been pivotal in driving our communications and marketing; from a gala dinner celebrating 150 years of plantation forestry in South Australia, to navigating both a federal and state election, delivering the This is Wood Work campaign, and shaping how we tell the story of South Australia’s forest industries. She’s been at the centre of it all.

Over that time, she’s driven an extraordinary body of work (likely hundreds of press releases and thousands of media hits), but more importantly, she’s reshaped how our industry is understood. Through her work, the story of forestry has been told with clarity, purpose and impact, bringing its importance into sharp focus for government, stakeholders and the broader community.

Haley hasn’t just communicated the industry – she’s grown how it is seen by the community and our State’s decision-makers.

While she’s been firmly rooted in growing South Australia’s forest industries, her future now lies in the stars with space industries.

Thank you, Haley, for your commitment, professionalism and everything you’ve given to SAFPA.

You’ll be missed, and on behalf of the Governing Council and all the members, we wish you every success in what comes next.

🌏This Earth Day, we’re reminded that sustainability matters.

It’s not just an idea, it’s a commitment in action. 🌲And forestry is heavily committed to sustainability.

Across South Australia, our forest managers are doing more than growing timber to build homes, they’re nurturing ecosystems.

Over 40,000 hectares of high value native habitats of flora and fauna are protected, contributing to the overall health and vitality of forest ecosystems.

Through responsible forestry, native ecosystems are not only maintained but strengthened, ensuring these precious environments continue to flourish for generations to come.

Here’s to a future where industry and nature grow side by side!
