The impact of Storm Eowyn is still being assessed. Minister Hayden informed Green Belt directly that a decision on any support package will be determined in the upcoming budget (October 2025).

Since the storm there has been a lot of activity and promises made across the industry. Green Belt has maintained its integrity and strong relationships within the industry. This has ensured our forest owners are guaranteed their payment for the timber promptly and accurately. We work with reputable contractors and sawmills and monitor timber flows and volumes as they leave the forest.

In these times of uncertainty, we encourage you to get in touch. Green Belt's foresters will assess your forest, identify the area affected and help you plan your way out of this problem and back to productive forestry.

if your decision is to sell the forest, either with timber still on site, or post harvesting. Green Belt can help you find a buyer.

Please contact your local forester
