The nominees are listed below for each award.
The Board of the Forest Practices Authority recognises that there are people working in forestry in Tasmania who display excellence in applying the forest practices system in their particular field of work.
This is why Forest Practices Awards were started in 2007, to publicly acknowledge a few of these inspirational people.
The forest practices system is based on continual improvement and cooperation between all parties. It’s the high standard achieved by those who implement the forest practices system which enables this co-operation and continual improvement.
The Directors of the Board congratulate the nominees, not only on their outstanding professional achievements, but also on the manner in which that work has, and will continue to, contribute to the ongoing achievement of sustainable management of forests in Tasmania.
“I would like to emphasise the significance of being nominated as it shows that your peers really value your achievements. We had a really strong field of nominations this year – double that of last time – and the Awards Committee had a difficult time deciding on the winners. So, I want to congratulate every single nominee and thank them all for your contributions to the forest practices system,” Pam Allan, chair of the FPA board said in the nominations booklet.
“I also want to thank the Awards Committee: Kim Creak from the Board, Anne Chuter as CFPO, Heath Blair from Reliance Forest Fibre and the FPO Reference Group, Ann La Sala from Forico and the Forest Practices Advisory Committee and Chris Grove and Laurel Trebilco from the FPA staff.”
