'Tuchekoi Native Timbers' was established in 2005 and planted with 30,000 high value rainforest and eucalypt timbers, sought after both nationally and internationally for furniture making and cabinetry. The planation has consistently been managed using the Mitchell Method – a proven, low-maintenance framework developed by Jack Mitchell based on decades of research and observation. His method facilitates easier sequential and selective harvesting through the planting of compatible mixed species in specific spacings. Additionally, the significant number of harvestable native forest timbers could generate further revenue. Previous studies estimated net present value of the timber on the property to be $6.6M in 2022, and $8.9M in 2027.
