How Often Should Native Forests Be Logged? A Case Study on the Eden Management Area

Stephen Hartley

The Economic and Labour Relations Review, 1995, vol. 6, issue 2, 196-215

Abstract: The question of how often to log is examined applying two different methods –one optimizes over time the value of its timber harvested and the other considers the forest as a multi-use resource. The former, applied to data for the Eden area given an optimal rotation period of 25 years, the latter suggests that it is optimal never to harvest pristine native old growth forests.
