You may use wood for heating. Forests are great places for having fun. At Toolangi there are places to camp, picnic, fish, bushwalk and enjoy peace and solitude as well as places to enjoy trail bike riding and four-wheel driving. Forest planners recognise that the forest has a finite capacity to provide resources and to cope with the impact of human activities. Planners have to balance environmental and commercial objectives in such a way that as far as possible different community needs are met.
Forests are dynamic places, constantly changing.
The way we use them also changes and will continue to change in relation to the way we live and in the light of new knowledge. Life in the Forest Nearly half the world's living things are in forests. Thousands of species of insects live, nest and forage amongst the leaves. At Toolangi you can experience the total forest story from its beginnings to todays mighty trees. The Forest Discovery Centre staff will supply you with maps and information to enable you to tour and interpret the forest, take a walk in the Rainforest, inspect the site of the Graton's Sawmill, view harvested and regenerated areas and marvel at old growth forest.
