Recent News
Just like the forestry industry, Merrett Logging is constantly changing and evolving. Read the latest news below to stay up to date with events in the industry and updates within our company.
Committed to a Greener Future
Sustainability is one of our core values at Merrett Logging, keeping the planet and our community at the heart of our business. Trees are vital to our planet’s carbon dioxide cycle and provide habitats for a variety of wildlife – and that’s why sustainable forestry is so important. We harvest our softwood every 15 years, only taking what we need without depleting our sources. Sustainability is ensuring we leave a better world for future generations.
Local Roots, Nationwide Reach
Merrett Logging’s base camp is in Penola, South Australia. However, we have a broader service area with a depot in Mount Gambler and deliver as far as Colac, and Geelong. We work within South Australia and Victoria’s green triangle, which spreads between Portland, Hamilton, Penola and Millicent. If you’re in the area, don’t hesitate to call us for all your forestry harvesting and haulage needs.

🍩💛🖤R U OK? Day At Merrett Logging 🖤💛🍩
R U OK? Day holds significant importance in the forestry industry, just as it does in any other sector. Working in forestry often entails physically demanding tasks, remote locations, and extended periods of isolation, which can contribute to stress and mental health challenges.
This day serves as a critical reminder for forestry professionals to prioritise their mental well-being and that of their colleagues. By openly discussing mental health concerns and asking the simple question, "Are you okay?" within the forestry community, we can create a supportive and safe environment where individuals feel comfortable seeking help when needed. Recognising and addressing mental health issues not only benefits the individuals involved but also enhances overall workplace morale, safety, and productivity
The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) at Merrett Logging is a testament to this commitment. It provides confidential counseling services, ensuring that employees have access to professional help when needed.
