IFA announce recipients of the N.W. Jolly MedalFriday 20 May 2011 The IFA President, Dr Peter Volker, announced that two worthy recipients would be honoured in 2011 with the awarding of the N.W. Jolly Medal. The N.W. Jolly Medal is the Institute of Foresters of Australia’s highest and most prestigious honour for outstanding service to the profession of forestry in Australia.In making the announcement, Dr Volker congratulated Mr Robert L Newman OAM and Dr David Flinn and acknowledged the invaluable contribution that both recipients have made throughout their careers as professional foresters. ‘David’s career spans over 45 years and Roberts career over 60. These two men have dedicated their forestry careers to research and practical management in government, private and international arenas.’ ‘Both recipients have shown a remarkable contribution to forestry and continue to provide great insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the industry and the profession. Whilst these two professionals have worked in complimentary areas of expertise, together they respectfully represent scientific and management advancements seen in Australia.’ Dr Volker said when making the announcement of the prestigious award. The award to Robert and David recognises that science, research and how this translates into practical implementation are critically important aspects for the achievement of sustainable forestry and a sustainable and competitive forest industry – something that foresters have always strongly advocated and worked for. The respective awarding ceremonies will be held later in the year. |
