Rob Wilson from Dalmann Timber in Lambourn will be discussing the conservation and harvesting of woods from Catapu, the 25,000-hectare forestry concession and sawmill belonging to Dalmann Mozambique. He is passionate about responsible and sustainable forest management and has many years’ experience. The Dalmann concession is divided into 27 rotational blocks. Prior to operations starting inventories are conducted which entails detailed plotting of all viable trees, mapping roads, identifying and protecting wildlife areas, nesting birds, insect colonies and cultural sites. Dalmann Mozambique subscribes to a policy of plating 5 new indigenous hardwood saplings for every tree harvested.

Rob will be discussing the reforestation, wildlife and community aspects of wood production. He will also be bringing raw and turned samples of wood to the meeting.

We will be contacting TV members before the meeting to request any orders for wood which Rob can bring to the evening and avoid courier charges.
