The Forest Heritage Centre is the outcome of a unique partnership between the Fine Wood Industry Project and the State Government's Department of Conservation and Land Management, with sponsorship from numerous State, Commonwealth, private agencies and now also incorporating the Forest Products Commission.

Managed by an independent board as a non-profit making venture, the Centre's mission is to increase awareness and understanding of how Western Australia's forest heritage can be conserved, managed and used most effectively. It carries the message that the natural environment is not a museum, set apart from human presence, to be visited occasionally and observed under glass.

The Forest Heritage Centre presents a living, breathing example of how we fit into the whole. It is an instructive model of forests and forest use as it is happening now and with long-term sustainable management of our forests, long into the future.

Whether by a sense of nature, a fascination with forest products, or the lure of old fashioned lore of the early timber-cutting days, visitors will be drawn irresistibly into the experience of the centre, and will leave with an enriched sense of heritage.
