2024 Symposium Field Trip Program

Field Trips are such a wonderful way to have a hands-on learning experience. The 2024 Forestry Australia Symposium Organising Committee are working hard to confirm the field trip itineraries for a series of interesting and engaging day trip options.

More detailed information and an itinerary for each Field Trip will be available soon.

  • Field Trip #2 – Forest gardening and caring for country
  • Field Trip #3 – Plantations
  • Field Trip #4 – Invasive species

Field Trip attendance is included in all full registrations. Additional attendees and partners are able to attend at a cost (subject to availability).

Please note:

  • Field Trips all run at the same time, so delegates can only register for ONE option. All Field Trips are subject to maximum numbers, which are allocated on a first in, best dressed basis.
  • Field Trips depart from and return to Mercure Ballarat Hotel and Convention Centre
  • Field Trips  will take place on Thursday 31 October. These trips are scheduled to depart at approx 7.30am and return by approximately 5.30pm. We will do our best to ensure return by 5.30pm, however we cannot guarantee that you will be back in time to meet flights. Confirmed timings will be released soon.
  • Participation in Field Trips are included in full registration; additional tickets are available to purchase.
  • Field Trips are subject to change without notice.
