Community open day
EVER wondered what it takes to grow a sustainable forest? Well, now’s your chance to find out! On Saturday, July 19, HQPlantations is throwing open the gates at their Beerburrum office for a Community Open Day, and we want YOU to be part of it!
HQP’s pine plantations in the Beerburrum area cover approximately 30,000 hectares, with plantations at Beerburrum, Woodford, Glasshouse Mountains, and Landsborough areas.
Growing for generations, these plantations continue to support a thriving local economy of large and small businesses and workers such as sawmills, truss and frame manufacturers, civil construction, truck drivers, harvesters, scientists, foresters, firefighters, nursery workers, and even helicopter and drone pilots.
Visitors will see every aspect of the plantation lifecycle and some of the machines and technology used from seedling to sawmill on display from HQP.
Come and see big machines and high-tech gear, firefighting demos, and check out our fire tankers and light attack vehicles. There will also be environmental and cultural heritage talks, goody bags, and fantastic prizes including major prizes of a family day pass to Australia Zoo and tickets to the Big Kart Track, Landsborough, to be won! Fuel up on Rotary hamburgers and sausage sizzle, food trucks, and coffee cart.
Drop in and discover how long it takes to grow a pine tree, how many seedlings are grown each year to replant our plantations, what our upcoming harvest plans are, fire protection strategies, and more!
It’s going to be huge!
