The Southern Cross Group of Forest Researchers and Practitioners (the Southern Cross Group for short) 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
report, 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.
