Eucalypt Action Group

Established as recently as April 2002, though eucalypts have been a particular focus of farm foresters since the earliest days of our association over 50 years ago. NZFFA is participating with Forest Research (formerly the NZ Forest Research Institute and now Scion) in a nation-wide series of trials with stringybark eucalypts because stringybarks have good sawing properties and are comparatively free from insect pests.
