Abstract: The NZIF Foundation announced education and research awards totalling $41,000 at the NZIF conference in Nelson on 10 July 2018. There were more awards, more applications and a record level of distributions this year than ever before. In 2012, the first year of the Foundation’s operation, there were four awards totalling $6,500. For 2018 there were 10 award categories worth $44,500 on offer. The 29 applicants who collectively made 43 applications came from a wide range of institutions and forestry interests, with research projects in plantation forest management, harvesting and trade, social issues, indigenous forests and urban forests.
