Forestry Department’s long-term target of the timber plantation project is to develop about 30,000 net hectares, which aimed to eventually produce a sustained yield of timber for the country.
Three groups of soecies are planted for the project such as follows:
| Group of Species | Rotation Age (years) |
Species of trees |
| Fast Growing Hardwoods | 15 | ▪ Acacia mangium ▪ Sentang (Azadirachta excelsa) |
| Medium Growing, High Quality Hardwoods & Tropical Conifers | 35 | ▪ Klinkii Pine (Araucaria hunsteinii) ▪ Teak (Tectona grandis) ▪ Caribbean Pine (Pinus caribaea) ▪ Large Leaf Mahagony (Swietenia macrophylla) |
| Slow Growing (Local Dipterocarps) | 50 | ▪ Kapur (Dryobalanops spp) ▪ Tulong (Agathis borneensis) ▪ Kawang Jantung (Shorea macrophylla) ▪ Other Dipterocarp species |
The project was carried out within the Inter-Riverine Zone – Zone between Tutong and Belait River (Kawasan Mukim-Mukim Sungai Liang, Bukit Sawat, Rambai, Sukang and Melilas).
As of 2016, there have been about 5,211 hectares of timber plantation established since 1992:
