Heartwood Podcast
Rowan Reid
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.
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".

#2 The Farmer and the Forester
Heartwood Podcast
10/25/24 • 60 min
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. For more than 35 years we have shared a passion for making multipurpose tree growing attractive to family farmers in our region. With others, we set up the Otway Agroforestry Network in 1993; ran the first Australian Master TreeGrower course in 1996; and, developed a unique Peer Group Mentoring program to support farmers as they explore their tree growing options.
The Otway Agroforestry network is now one of the largest farmer-led groups of its kind and the landscape around us has changed dramatically: there is now a diversity of tree planting that I've not seen anywhere in the world. And, we are now producing a range of high quality products, including timber, from the trees we planted for shelter and land protection.
In this podcast Andrew and I reflect on the past and imagine what the future may hold for agroforestry in the Otways.

#1: Portable sawmills for farmers
Heartwood Podcast
09/24/24 • 46 min
David Jenkins grows eucalypt sawlogs and has a 10 inch Lucas Mill on his beef farm near Bridgetwon in Western Australia. I have a Hardwood Mills GT40 Horizontal Bandsaw on our Bambra Agroforestry Farm in Victoria. We caught up in David's mill shed to discuss how these two Australian made mills perform and the advantages of each.
Watch a video of me using our Hardwood Mills GT40 Bandsaw to quartersaw a large eucalypt at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20LFBxq2btE
