Rowan Reid
Agroforester, author of Heartwood, and founder of the Australian Master TreeGrower program. At his Bambra Agroforestry Farm, Rowan demonstrates how timber, biodiversity, and farming can coexist productively. Rowan and his family have recently built a house for which almost all the timber came from trees they had planted and milled on the farm. See; www.agroforestry.net.au

Andrew and Jill Stewart
Farmers at Yan Yan Gurt West Farm, in Victoria. Over 30 years the Stewart family have increased tree cover from three percent to 18 percent while maintaining fat lamb production and restoring biodiversity corridors. They are also starting to harvest timber from the same trees.

All three guests are giving their time freely as family farmers who grow trees for conservation and profit.
