Forest Management Workshop Rescheduled, 9-11 December 2003, Acton, ACT

May 08, 2003

The aim of the meeting is to bring together scientists and forest managers to discuss recent developments in the understanding of forest catchment behaviour and management.

This workshop builds on the 'Erosion in Forests' Workshop held in Bermagui, NSW (March 1997) and the 'Forest Management for Water Quantity' workshop held in Warburton, Victoria, (May 1999). These workshops have proved to be a very successful forum for discussing key issues of forest management. Presentations will be held on the 9th and 11th of December and a field excursion will be organised for the 10th of December 2003. The field excursion will visit the burnt forest area at the western site of Canberra and plantation forestry sites of NSW State Forests near Tumut.

During the workshop four major key themes will be discussed, with a keynote presentation on each of the themes. The key themes are: Forest Hydrology, Sediment Delivery and Water Quality, Fire Management and Sustainable Forestry.
