Southern Cross Group
The Southern Cross Group of Forest Researchers and Practitioners is a group of individuals with experience and expertise in forestry and forest ecology, who work to foster better management of Australia's native forests.Goals
In their 2006 , the Southern Cross Group advocated incentives to encourage private landholders:
- to retain and foster more native trees on their land,
- to allow and stimulate these trees to reach larger sizes,
- to report the presence of endangered plants and animals on their land, and
- to provide more habitat for these endangered species.
