Australian tree grower's personal web sites
More and more tree growers are developing their own web sites. Some are tree growing professionals whilst others are just tree growers. In this field experience counts for a lot.
Andrew Campbell (Triple Helix Consulting) has been at the cutting edge of natural resource management in Australia for 25 years. He has played influential roles in research, policy and extension. He's a forest scientist, was instrumental in the development of Landcare, was Australia's first National Landcare Facilitator, and pioneered the concept of Whole Farm Planning. His family farm near Cavendish grows trees, prime lambs and wool. His web site is a wealth of information and considered opinion.
