Listen "33. Shifting the Culture of Forestry in Australia with Australian Sustainable Timbers"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I’d love you to meet James Felton-Taylor and Annabelle Kater, who run Australian Sustainable Timbers in Dungog NSW. As native forest managers and timber processors, they’re passionate about showing there’s a better way to work with the bush by rethinking timber production.
This conversation is a great reminder that when you lead with intention and work with the natural lifecycle of the trees, timber production and environmental care don’t have to be at odds. They can grow together in a way that respects both people and the planet.
