Timber Trip 2024 to focus on 'small is beautiful' and a locals approach over the weekend of Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th October

Promising to be one of the best ever, Ballarat Region Treegrowers Timber Trip 2024 heads down a  regenerative pathway from First Nations demonstrations of ‘forest gardening’ & cultural sawmilling to small scale timber framing and fine woodworking on the Saturday; then on the Sunday, visits to a speciality sawmiller and a regrowth forest where the adoption of silvicultural practices aims to restore its biodiversity, as well as future utility.

Curated by fine woodworker, Lachie Park, check out the full itinerary and register via Humanitix:-https://events.humanitix.com/ballarat-region-treegrowers-timber-trip-2024 

As this TT’s organiser, Lachie is the host for the event and you will need to book separately with him for the dinner on the Saturday night at the Railway Hotel in Castlemaine. 
 
We are partnering with the Moorabool Landcare Network – a nice fit with our ‘small is beautiful’ and localism approach this year. Tickets are an affordable $15 flat fee for taking part in either some or all of the weekend’s activities. As is usual, participants will need to bring their own vehicles or pool with friends to travel in convoy from site to site. You will have to provide your own meals & drinks, and seek accommodation in Castlemaine or surrounds if you make it to the dinner or want to travel up to Bendigo for Sunday’s events.
