Ewingar State Forest

Ewingar State Forest is a plantation forest in northern New South Wales, approximately 36km east of Tenterfield. It encompasses 18,433 hectares of what was formerly Crown forestry land.[1] It was acquired by the Forestry Corporation of NSW, a State Government agency, on 14 December 2022.[1]

In 2025, there was a 137 hectare bush fire.[2]

The Forest includes the habitat of the endangered (and adorable) Greater glider(s).[3]
