The Southern Tablelands Farm Forestry Network (STFFN) Inc is an incorported association and is one of several Private Forestry Development Committees in NSW that are put in place to support private landholders in their farm forestry pursuits.

Since 1996 STFFN has provided a number of free extension services to landholders in the Southern Tablelands on issues such as commercial pine growing, plantation with natives and private native forestry.

STFFN has over 790 members most of whom are landholders but also includes representatives from industry and other organisations.

• providing a link to private forest growers and markets;

• holding regular field days and events;
