Australian forest growers biennial national conference 2016: Proceedings

‘Making the Right Choice’ is crucial to private forestry today and the Conference sessions will showcase knowledge, proven forest and forest industries activities as well as research innovation in Australia. You can hear how successful forest owners, consultants, leading researchers, innovative industry, government and communities make the right decisions to benefit from forestry and through field days you can see first hand how private forestry and industry are growing their businesses in Tasmania.

Communication is important and the three day program of up to 40 speakers together with Field tours and social functions provides delegates an unrivalled opportunity to meet one another, the speakers, industry representatives and trade exhibitors to share ‘tree growing’ experiences and learn about practical developments and innovative research.

We particularly thank all sponsors, supporters and exhibitors and landholders and industry who will host field tours. We cannot run such a diverse and high quality conference without the generous support of our sponsors and I commend them to all delegates and AFG Members. We also thank the speakers and grower workshop presenters for their valued contributions.
