What we do

Silviculture

ABP strives for continuous improvement in our plantation management ‒ researching, developing and implementing innovative practices which result in the production of consistently high quality wood chips.

Harvesting

An extensive planning process precedes harvest. The application of advanced harvest methods and the engagement of experienced local contractors are integral to this critical stage of ABP operations.

ABP premium woodchips, destined for export to customers in China and Japan, are transported in customised woodchip trailers for loading at our upgraded port facilities in Western Australia and Victoria.
