Our Projects:Master Tree Grower's CourseDuring August and September 2008 the Northern United Forestry Group delivered the Melbourne University 'Master Tree Growers' course. The course was presented through a partnership with the North Central Catchment Management Authority and it was delivered with the support of Coordinator Morgana Te Pauae.
The focus of the program was on the establishment and management of trees for both low rainfall farm forestry and biodiversity across the diverse lands of Northern Victoria. There was a lot of interest in this course from people from a diverse range of backgrounds.
Twenty-six participants completed the 8 day course over a six week period. The adventure came to a conclusion with a dinner in Bendigo and the presentation of certificates and awards by Rowan Reid, National Coordinator of the MTG Program, and Senior Lecturer in Forest Science from the University of Melbourne.
