Are you interested in planting eucalyptus on your land? Or do you already have a eucalyptus crop and want to know more about its management, harvesting and the potential markets?

Whatever your questions, whether they concern agronomy, economics or logistics expert Bryan Elliot will be able to provide all the answers.

This farm walk is in association with Envirocrops – a project supported by the Government’s Biomass Feedstocks Innovation Programme. Members of the Envirocrops team will be on hand to give you the latest information on the web app that is being developed to provide decision support to farmers and consultants.

Bryan Elliott is the Managing Director of Eucalyptus Renewables. He has developed an innovative silviculturally based, UK company, that is focussed on delivering an expertise in developing a UK wood supply chain through growing crops of various targeted Eucalyptus species.
