Forest Management Workshop 23 - 25 March 2004
December 15, 2003
The CRC for Catchment Hydrology, along with University of New South Wales, Forest Science Centre and New South Wales State Forests, presents the Forest Management Workshop on 23 - 25 March 2004.
Workshop objectives and scope
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 follows on the Erosion in Forests Workshop held in Bermagui, NSW (March 1997) and the Forest Management for Water Quality and 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 23 and 25 March 2004 and a field excursion will be organised for the 24 March 2004. The field excursion will visit the burnt forest area at the western side of Canberra and plantation forestry sites of NSW State Forests near Tumut.
