AFCA held its annual Conference for a glimpse into 'Our Future in Forestry'!

The event was a fantastic opportunity for AFCA members and sponsors as well as forestry professionals and industry leaders to come together and explore the potentials that lay ahead in our industry. With a line-up of informative guest speakers, insightful discussions were had on various topics relevant to the industry's future landscape.

It was the perfect occasion to connect, collaborate, and collectively envision the future of forestry and network with like-minded professionals, engaging in thought-provoking discussions, and gaining valuable industry knowledge.

A huge thank you to our presenters for taking the time and joining us for this event, a first for AFCA, however now a staple on our AFCA calendar! The presentations were not only informative but created many discussions after the event so again thank you.
