Their understanding of the issues is enhanced through a presentation on management issues given to them by DNR State forest staff. Daisy Hill State Forest is a 450 hectare area located in Brisbane's southern suburbs and is managed for conservation and recreation. Because of its location in an urban area it may suffer impacts from surrounding development as a result of the practices of residents and from the high volume of visitors to the forest every weekend. Daisy Hill has more visitors per hectare than any other State Forest in Queensland. Chisholm Catholic College Geography students make decisions about the ways in which forestry resources are managed in Daisy Hill State Forest.
Students then examine the measures taken by DNR staff to manage the problem.
Students must decide on a number of alternative strategies and evaluate the suitability of each strategy based on its economic, ecological, social and political aspects. The students also prepare a report on issues related to the management of Daisy Hill State Forest. This report includes photographic evidence of observed effects of human impact and a number of proposals to minimise or prevent environmental degradation in the State Forest. Woodridge State High School shares a border with Karawatha, which provides part of a significant wildlife corridor to Greenbank. The forest has strong ecological, cultural, recreational and educational value.
