Abstract

These Regulations place restrictions on the removal or conveyance of scheduled timber, i.e. timber cut from tree species mentioned in the First Schedule to these Regulations, from private or Crown land. The Regulations also concern the assignment by the Conservator of Forests of property marks for the marking of timber and the registration of such marks. A person who uses a property mark that is not registered or illegally marks timber on Crown land commits an offence.
