Current Projects

Private Native Forest Extension Program

The program will build on the results of an extensive series of landholder surveys, including those landholders who have participated in past extension activities, to ensure it delivers educational material, workshop formats and in-field activities that are specifically tailored to participant needs. A series of workshops and field days will be rolled out across southern Queensland.

There will be funding support and one-on-one assistance available for those landholders who complete a four-day, in-field, best practice forest management workshop. One of the key outcomes of this support will be a network of broad acre demonstration sites, showing how landholders have undertaken best practice forest management ‘on the ground’.

20 Million Trees Program

The Australian Government is working with the community to plant 20 million trees by 2020, to re-establish green corridors and urban forests. The Program involved competitive grants, delivered by individuals and organisations, and larger-scale plantings, delivered by service providers.

Under this program PFSQ has conducted projects involving re-forestation of degraded grazing lands and the planting forest which extends, buffers and links existing remnant vegetation on adjacent properties in order to improve environmental conditions for wildlife.
