Explore your State forests on a free bus trip
From the Autumn 2008 edition of Bush Telegraph Magazine.
Are you involved in, or do you have an interest in, recreation, landscape management, resource conservation, bush regeneration, forest history or the timber industry? If you do, then take the opportunity to join Forests NSW on a free bus trip to explore our forests.
Normally provided to teachers, Forests NSW is expanding its bus trip program to provide a wider audience with the opportunity to learn more about our wonderful forests, how sustainable management works, benefits our forests provide plus lots more.
The bus trips can provide an insight into our forests. If you are in the building industry you can find out about the qualities and the accreditation of the wood you are using. For wood turners it’s a great opportunity to visit where your timber is sourced from. If you are a tourist operator use our bus trip as a way to explore potential sites for your next tour.
The trips will provide the opportunity to meet a range of experts from a diversity of fields who will discuss and demonstrate the day-to-day management of forests. Best of all, you get to visit a number of forest sites that are not always accessible to the general visitor.
If this trip sounds interesting and you would like further details, please contact Gerard Nolan, Forests NSW education officer on 02 9872 0105 or register online at www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/forests/bus-trips
