  • To create a sustainable and challenging competition amongst the industry.

We encourage businesses within the industry to become involved in this exciting event. It is important that we all share the vision to recognise and support skilled professionals, applaud them and create a desire to continue to lift the profile of forestry in the Eastland region. This focus will promote an environment of safety, wellbeing and health that drives a sustainable industry.
