Tree growers are invited to apply online

Tree growers can apply online for 2013 annual forest premiums, and view some of their payment history and maps of their forest plantations.

By applying online, they will speed up the premium payment process. Payment will be made within weeks of application, instead of waiting for a bulk run in April.

There are just 5,500 forest owners registered for the Department’s online services, and they will be able to submit online applications.
