Abstract

The forests of south west Western Australia have become sites for debate and conflict in the Regional Forest Agreement process. Different discourses, frames and story-lines are used to interpret and contest the policy agendas of natural resource management. Actors communicate their viewpoints through various means. Use of symbolism is rife. To date, however, a more environmmentally-based discursive reframing has not penetrated the resource-dominated discourse of Western Australian forest management. Much strategic institutional work is necessary if actors are to see both the wood and the trees.
