Heartwood Podcast
Welcome to our new Podcast series. I'll be sharing my 40 years experience in growing trees on farms for both conservation and profit with stories from our own farm and interviews with some of the many farmers I have worked with around Australia. Key words: Forestry, Farm Forest, Forester, Trees, Agroforestry, Regenerative Agriculture, Landcare, Timber, Lumber, Sawmilling, Bushfood, Carbon, Biodiversity, Soil Conservation, Farming, Environment, Plantation I'm open to suggestions for content and am happy to takes questions. Hope you like it. Rowan I'm a forest scientist (B.For.Sci. & M.For.Sci.), author, educator and a tree grower with a family farm in the Otway Ranges of southern Victoria, Australia. We call it the Bambra Agroforestry Farm and grow more than 70 different species for conservation and profit. After almost 40 years we're now harvesting and milling our own trees, building a house from the timber and selling tree products. I was also a co-founder of one of Australia’s most successful Landcare groups, the Otway Agroforestry Network and the originator of the Australian Master TreeGrower program. I have worked with farmers in many countries including the USA, UK, Europe, Uganda, Kenya, Indonesia, Vanuatu and Timor Leste. I have written many books about tree growing: the latest is "Heartwood - the art and science of growing trees for conservation and profit".

Thinning may be the most controversial and poorly understood aspect of growing trees. Whether for conservation, timber or both, competition between trees may be slowing their growth and reducing the quality of your forest.
In this podcast Rowan explains how managing the 'personal space' around each tree can help create a more valuable forest. He also touches on the risk of believing in a commercial thinning option and wh...
We've spent 5 years building our new farmhouse. Almost all the timber (or lumber) came from trees we planted, pruned, harvested and milled on the farm. You could say it took us 38 years to grow our homegrown home!
In this podcast I talk about growing and building the timber framing, boardroom concrete fireplace, stairs, lining, cabinets and flooring using a range of species we've grown on our own farm including Radiata Pi...
Can we change forestry to make it attractive to family farmers? In this episode Rowan Reid reflects on the history of forestry on farms in Australia and his involvement over the last 40 years. It's clear that forestry is not working for farmers and we need to change the way we talk about and support forestry in the family farming landscape.

On the Bambra Agroforestry F...
Andrew Stewart is a multi-award winning farmer in the Otways in southern Victoria, Australia. I'm a forest scientist with a small tree farm in the next valley.

With others, we set up the Otway Agroforestry Network in 1993; ran the first Australian Master TreeGrower course in 1996; and, developed a un...
David Jenkins grows eucalypt sawlogs and has a 10 inch Lucas Mill on his beef farm near Bridgetown in Western Australia.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
