The South Burnett Grazing Network, in partnership with Private Forestry Service Queensland, will be holding a Timber Production and Grazing Field Day at BJ Gentry’s property in Nanango on Saturday (July 29).
The Field Day will be presented by Bill Schulke and Sean Ryan from PFSQ, and the focus of the day will be Grazing Land Management and Tree Density.
The Field day is free and open to all producers.
Trial plots have been set up on BJ’s property over many years, and attendees will be able to see highly productive forest land supporting good grazing pastures.
Managing tree density is key to balancing a sustainable productive environment.
The presenters will take attendees through the current worth of timber products as well as viewing regrowth of forests thinned ten years ago.
Data to support an integrated management system will be available as well.
The day will begin at 9:00am and finish at 3:00pm.
Guests should bring lunch and chairs, wear sunsmart clothes and closed in shoes.
Tap water, hot water, tea, coffee, sugar, milk and morning tea will be provided.
You can register your attendance by phoning (07) 5483-6553 or by email.
To find the property, follow the Field Day signs from the Manumbar Road turn-off from the Burnett Highway.
