The Forest Heritage Centre is unique. While there are many interpretive facilities set in a forest environment none contain the intricate machinery of industry, a museum of social, natural and industrial history and a working school of fine wood training.

Enjoy the 11 metre high tree top walk that takes you into the Jarrah/Marri forest canopy
and see the many wonders of the Forest and the Australian School of Fine Wood
at the Forest Heritage Centre, Dwellingup.
