Webinar: Bamboo Plantations 101 and Growing Australia’s Green Future

Join the Bamboo Society of Australia for an inspiring and practical introduction to bamboo cultivation in Australia — featuring pioneering grower Durnford Dart from Bamboo Australia.

Durnford, widely regarded as the godfather of commercial bamboo in Australia, founded the country’s first bamboo plantation in 1989 at Belli Park, QLD. With over three decades of hands-on experience, he has grown more than 250 species, advised international projects, and built one of the world’s most diverse bamboo collections.

In this session, Durnford will share:

  • How to get started with a bamboo plantation in Australia
  • Species selection and land suitability
  • Insights from his 35+ years at Bamboo Australia
  • Australia’s bamboo opportunity

Whether you’re a landholder, grower, sustainability advocate or curious newcomer — this webinar is your chance to learn directly from one of the nation’s most respected bamboo experts.
