Improving our environmental performance across the forest industry brings both challenges and rewards. We seek to facilitate speakers and delegates to share successes and learnings among peers across a range of forest management companies for large and small forest estates.
Environmental Forestry 2023
Overview
This event brings together a diverse range of people from environmental, operations, technical and management people from the forest industry and local and central government. It is designed both for people with boots on the ground, those planning operations, and those whose role is to set or measure if policy requirements are being met.
Our speaker presentations are drawn from within and outside the forestry sector with a focus on environmental best practises and case studies. Delegate feedback tells us to offer speaker on topics with a focus on the challenges we face in improving environmental performance. This event will engage forest company professionals, regional councils and those involved in national environmental standards.
What's Planned?
The programme delivers case studies on ways to improve outcomes for a diverse range of environmental objectives. It is not just about managing production forestry operations but brings a range of views together for environmental forestry practitioners and managers to learn from while networking is important as well.
We look to bring together diverse groups of people meeting environmental challenges. With the support of the WIDE Trust, we offer complimentary registrations to young people in our industry and students in related disciplines.
The conference agenda will appeal to regional council staff and management from forest company professionals, from small to large forest companies as well as regulatory and policy staff from Ministry for Primary Industries/Te Uru Rākau and the Ministry for the Environment.
