President's Column 17 June 2019

There has been a lot going on behind the scenes on behalf of NZIF members in the past few weeks. I attended an ANZIF Conference Organising Committee meeting on Friday, and the team is planning a fantastic conference. The speaker line-up is close to being finalised, the professional development courses will be worth getting up early on a Sunday morning for, and there are some other great opportunities to network and celebrate successes. See: https://www.anzifconference.com/.

The Forest Newsfeed: COMMUNICATING FORESTRY IN THE CONNECTED AGE

This year’s conference theme is highly relevant on both sides of the Tasman. Your conference organising committee, made up of NZIF and IFA members, has secured the very best national and international speakers. Professional development courses will cover forest valuation, carbon forestry and leadership. The field trip will address topical issues in forest management.
