ForestTECH News | Issue 67

Welcome to the latest issue of Foresttech.News.

Can you believe we are already in the second quarter of 2023? Last month we posted an early expression of interest in being part of November’s ForestTECH 2023 event series being run in both New Zealand and Australia. Based on that great response, we’re deep into the programme design and look forward to releasing further details shortly. If you are keen still on putting in a request to present (or to save an exhibition space) at this event, please get in touch with us ASAP so you don’t miss out!
