This week long forest science course provides an understanding of Australian forest management, the economics of wood production and other forest services.
The course will cover both planted and natural forests and will provide an appreciation of environmental issues and international strategic trends in the forestry industry.
It is presented through a range of different methods including lectures, interactive panel and practical sessions and has a full day field excursion that exposes participants to a range of forestry activities and philosophies.
The course is particularly relevant to those who are new to the forest and wood products industry, or who may have no formal forestry training, but are interested in understanding why things happen as they do in the industry.
In order to facilitate exchange and discussion, the course has limited numbers. Early booking is advised.
