WEBINAR | Forestry comms: Communicating complexity effectively
It’s not just the what, but the how, of communications that really makes a difference. The way we share, engage and inform is key to being understood and building social license – and has never been more important in the forestry sector as we seek to communicate science, research and operational complexity in an age of heightened discourse.
This webinar is for all forestry professionals and forest growers, and will equip attendees to think differently, broadly and strategically in the ways they engage with their respective audiences, both inside and outside forestry. Join David Bruce (Communications Director; Natural Hazards Research Australia) and Dr Sam Lloyd (Principal Scientist; Healthy Land and Water) for expert principles and personal case studies highlighting ways to communicate complex science in order to effectively engage with stakeholders and our community at large.
Every forester has a story to tell.
