Lastl Field day report

- Quorrobolong – a good day that was well attended. It was especially pleasing to see new members that had heard about HFFN via the stand at Tocal and via the Master Tree Growers course. The plantation was very interesting – some of the six year old trees were very good and near to thinning stage. Others were not so good. Overall a very interesting day.

- At the meeting following, it was agreed that if funding was available from Landcare, then HFFN would run another Master Tree Growers course later this year.
