Southern Cross Group

Southern Cross Group

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

In their 2006 [http://eprint.uq.edu.au/archive/00004434/01/SCG.pdf "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.
