The highly skilled and experienced people who continually strive for excellence in their varied roles are critical to the functioning of the system. The FPA board values this expertise and the importance of acknowledging it. There have been six previous rounds of Forest Practices Awards – in 2007, 2008, 2011, 2015, 2019 and 2022.
Now is your chance to highlight the outstanding achievements of someone you know (or yourself) working in the forest practices system. The nomination process is simple all you need to do is complete the nomination form found on the FPA’s website home page in the ‘News’ section and send it to the FPA.
This year will feature a new award category – the Natural and cultural special values management award.
This award will apply to individuals, groups or businesses showing innovative identification, planning and management of natural and cultural special values. These values could include soils and water, geomorphology, biodiversity, visual landscape or cultural heritage. It will be judged on the number and complexity of the special values, the innovation of the planning and the positive management outcomes.
Nominations are open until 8 August with the awards in Devonport, Tasmania on 19 September.
