ForestLearning Hits the Road in 2025

We’re excited to be heading across the country again in 2025 to connect with you all at some of Australia’s leading education and forestry conferences and events.

From interactive workshops and curriculum-aligned resource previews to hands-on ForestVR™ demos and fresh ideas for integrating sustainability into the classroom — there’s something for every teacher.

Whether you’re teaching science, geography, or design and technologies, we’d love to meet you and share how our free classroom tools can help make teaching easier and even more engaging.

Where You’ll Find Us in 2025

PIEFA Conference

19–20 May | Canberra

Join us for a lightning talk and explore our stand! We’ll showcase how real-world learning about sustainable forests and wood products can enhance teaching across STEM, Geography and Technologies — from ForestVR™ virtual excursions to our Industry Champions careers resources.

DATTA Queensland Conference

19–20 June | Brisbane

We’re returning with a trade stand and have submitted a workshop proposal, currently pending approval. If accepted, we’ll be co-presenting with Tom Clapson, Stewardship and Environment Manager at HQPlantations, to launch two new Years 7–10 units featuring authentic design challenges — a sustainable timber phone stand and a biodiversity-supporting nesting box. These projects bring real-world context, creativity, and sustainability into the Technologies classroom. Watch this space for confirmation!
