24.01.2022 There is so much good in wood!

20.01.2022 The path to a carbon-neutral society? Professor Leuzinger in NZ reckons "growing trees is what makes the difference". But first, reduce emissions (from the ag and energy sectors)! Personally, I like the trees + animals model! theconversation.com/climate-explained: what if we took all farm animals off the land and planted crops and trees instead?

20.01.2022 We embrace a regenerative form of forestry that is fit for the circular economy (and fit for the planet), creating good from wood. #sustainableliving #regenerativefarming #circulareconomy #forestry #bioeconomy Great work Planet Ark:

19.01.2022 First the exotic, deciduous oaks, then some exotic native ones! Managing #agroforestrysystems from go to whoah.

18.01.2022 Tangential shrinkage can be a blight for timber processors, but if it's firewood you're after - These self-splitting blocks of river she-oak (Casuarina cunninghamiana) have only been down for 3 weeks, but are rapidly losing water (and structural integrity) in humid conditions! This species will dry fast, but also rot fast if left exposed for too long.

15.01.2022 We’ve got a great partnership going with CERES Fairwood, and new opportunities to explore (when the weather warms up)!

15.01.2022 A single stratum of closely related individuals (a mono-culture) of self-sown ‘natural’ regrowth. At this density, fierce competition for finite resources excludes any other flora and leads to the slow decline and gradual death of the majority a natural process of attrition known as ‘self-thinning’. Selectively and proactively thinning a stand like this can fast-track succession and dramatically increase the productivity, diversity and value of the system, generating a sustainable source of premium firewood and durable round-wood in the process. #regenerativeforestry #forestry #farmforestry #ecology #silviculture #firewood #eucalyptus

09.01.2022 Chuffed to see the cautious return of this chough to the nest discovered while thinning in this 20-year old stand of sugar gum. What a marvelous piece of avian engineering! Despite its appearance, the chough isn’t closely related to the Corvids (crows and ravens), although as a boy I heard them referred to as ‘jays’. Their closest relative is the Apostlebird, which is also a unique and gregarious bird that builds a nest from mud. Happy National Bird Week!

07.01.2022 As Rowan Reid said earlier today: Growing forests is more than just planting trees. Bambra Agroforestry Farm Ecological engineering creates systems that integrate people with nature - for the benefit of both. Regenerative agriculture is an example it makes strategic use of grazing animals in the engineering of productive systems that foster an intimate relationship between people and their soils. ... Regenerative forestry engages people intimately with their forests. It employs people rather than animals in the active engineering and fostering of forests the pruning, thinning (and harvesting) of trees to boost biodiversity, capture carbon and generate new sources of forest products and income.

05.01.2022 What would a fire pit of the future look like? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vGKgBDfL5g&feature=emb_logo

05.01.2022 Everyday, we are inspired by #regenerativeforestry. Here - at the end of a long day of #firewood production, the beautiful winter colours of sugar-gum-trees 'pop' after an afternoon shower.

01.01.2022 Celebrating Adulthood! This spotted gum - Corymbia maculata planted as a seedling 18 years ago on free-draining, shallow soils (receiving ~500-600mm of annual rainfall) is now 46+cm in diamater at breast-height. That's an average annual diameter increment of around 2.7 cm. Yes, that includes something like 5 cm of bark and a fair bit of sapwood, but we'll take it! The greater growth of edge trees highlights the big benefits of thinning - more leaves, more wood, more flowers, more pollen, more nectar...
