More Information

Way back in 1971 Brad Kennedy began working with the Department of Primary industries, Forestry through a three year practical traineeship. From that time, he began to experience the many facets involved in the overall management of our production forests. During the 32 years he has travelled this vocational pathway, many policy and procedural changes have occurred to ensure that the utilisation of our forest resources are managed in an ecologically sustainable way.

Whilst with the DPI Forestry, Brad's experiences revolved around fire management, harvesting planning and control, silvicultural practices and workforce supervision. Towards the end of the last century (that sounds bad), after acquiring a Degree in Teaching and an Associate Diploma in Applied Science, he began a lecturing role with the Department of Primary Industries in association with the University of Queensland, Gatton. This is his present position. Brad's educational role reflects his past experiences in forest management, where he delivers courses on fire management, mensuration (or forest inventory) and harvesting & marketing.
