“We assure those people looking forward to the course – that their bookings are able to transfer across to 2021 and their places are assured,” Gottstein’s John Simon said.
“The Trustees sincerely appreciate the support of Gottstein patron donors like Sustainable Timber Tasmania, HVP, Timberlink and Forico who all have staff booked in.
“A stand-out is the great support for young people – with sponsored places provided by the Steve Stevenson Memorial Trust Fund, the Institute of Foresters’ of Australia and Midway,’’ he said.
“All of the sponsored places will be transferred to 2021, although it is possible some individuals may not be able to take their places.”
The Trust’s management team, Kurrumbene Projects & Advocacy, will prioritise working through these changes with all involved in the coming days. Any queries can be made to Helen Murray on 0419-991-424.
“The delivery of a Gottstein course is a truly collective effort. Amid the present uncertainty and gloom we especially wish to publicly thank all the speakers and the operations who were very kindly hosting the course for field trips visits and Professor Peter Kanowski, Associate Professor Cris Brack and Senior Lecturer Dr Matt Brookhouse for all they have done in our course delivery partnership with the ANU Fenner School,” Mr Simon said.
