Help Future Foresters connect and direct forestry issues

The Future Foresters Initiative (FFI) is on the lookout for new committee members. The FFI was established as a platform for young and emerging forest scientists, professionals, managers and growers to connect with each other and the broader Australian forestry community. Source: Timberbiz

FFI committee members have regular conference calls to discuss how Forestry Australia and the forest sector as a whole is addressing issues of importance to emerging foresters.

In particular, the FFI aims to support professional development by facilitating access to networking, mentoring and career development events.

Additionally, a key role of the FFI is to engage broadly with Forestry Australia’s staff, board and volunteers, advising them on issues that are critical to the future of forestry and providing guidance on the direction of Forestry Australia strategies and activities.

The FFI is committed to representing the communities in which they live and work. Diversity of thought, experience and background is acknowledged and celebrated, and it welcomes and encourages applications from everyone across the forestry community.

To apply send a 200-word expression of interest which details why you want to join the committee and an up-to-date CV to [email protected] by Friday 8 April 2022.
