  1. COME AND EXPERIENCE NATIONAL SCIENCE WEEK AT TAHUNE AIRWALK

    Forestry Tasmania and Tahune AirWalk would like to invite your school to visit Tahune during National Science Week between Monday 18th August through to Friday 22nd August. An exciting week to experience and learn about the Science within the Forests.

    Forestry Tasmania Scientists will be on site to showcase a variety of displays for the students to observe and examine. They will be delivering talks and answering questions and will be happy to tailor these to school programs on request.

    Tahune AirWalk staff will be offering guided tours of all the usual walks and attractions for your class on request, along with many activities and prizes available for the students visiting to win.

    We will be offering a sausage sizzle as a lunch option by gold coin donation, the money we raise here will be going to the “Science In Schools Program” so we do ask for you support in contributing to this significant program. As an alternative, groups are welcome to bring their own lunch and consume on site.

    There is no charge (for school groups) to come and visit Tahune during this week, but you MUST advise us if you would like to attend for catering and guide availability. You can do this by telephone or e-mail.

  3. Forestry Talk - Forestry: adaption to unavoidable climate change
    Michael Battaglia
    Senior Principal Research Officer
    CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems

    If our climate were to change in the ways that the consensus of scientific opinion now sees as inevitable, what will be the impact on the provision of products and ecosystem services from our forests?

    This talk takes current forecasts from global circulation models and looks at their implications for Tasmania’s forests, exploring areas of uncertainty in forest response, and looks at what adaptation to change may be possible.
