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.
