How things can change. With the rising case numbers of Omicron in New Zealand and the obvious reluctance of people to travel (or companies or organisations unwilling to let their staff travel and potentially bring back Covid into their workplace) have resulted in this event being rescheduled. The safety of our delegates, speakers, sponsors and staff are our main concern.
The Southern Wood Council Forestry Awards 2022 will now run on Friday, 26 August 2022 at the Forsyth Bar Stadium, Dunedin.
The deadline for SWC Awards 2022 nominations has also been extended. Award nominations close on 29 April 2022. Winners will be announced at the Awards function on 26 August 2022.
Apologies, but in the current environment, ‘it is what it is’. The almost daily changing environment for all events right now and travel restrictions has meant major changes have had to be made for this eagerly awaited event.
Thanks for your patience and understanding as we work our way through what we expect is going to be a tough month or two ahead for the kiwis.
