Help is on its way
Its been a hectic 5 years and as the BMAD BPM project comes to a close we are busy working on collating all that we have learnt into useful resources for landholders to use in dealing with BMAD-affect and susceptible forests. Some materials are ours, others come from other sources (why reinvent the wheel, hey?). Make sure you revisit this page to see what's new.
