Managed Plantations
Introduction
The Kimberley Timber Group has undertaken new plantings of African Mahogany over the last three years on behalf of indepedent investors.KTC Mahogany Projects #1, #2 & #3
Located in sunny Kununurra, Western Australia on the Ord River Irrigation Area, KTC's Mahogany Projects #1, #2 & #3 were planted in accordance with the specifications.This is an important milestone for KTC being the first managed investment African Mahogany projects in Kununurra and the first projects on behalf of individual investors for KTC.
The Ord irrigation area provides rich soils and water all year round which promotes a healthier arbor environment and peace of mind for our investors.

A weed spraying unit. The domed shaped appendages localise the spray to the weeds alongside the seedlings keeping the irrigation channel clear and the mahogany seedlings isolated, free from competing weed species. This plantation management practice maximises a healthy start to life and promotes rapid growth in the vital first few years.
