Abstract: The next few pages contain a very brief summary of the recent conference in New Plymouth. The first two days following the AGM were indoor sessions, the third day a field trip around parts of the Taranakai region. After the conference finished a group of random attendees were asked their opinion of the conference. The answers in general were very encouraging, in spite of the doom and gloom surrounding the industry as a whole with the current lack of tree planting. The attendance of a significant number of forestry students was favourably commented on. These are the foresters of the future and as many as possible should come to these conferences.
