[OSGeo Oceania] FOSS4G SotM Oceania 2019 tree planting day

[adam steer]

Hi Ed (and all)

Thanks! I’m filling out a filming permission form for 14/15/16 August.

Ideally flights will take place the day before, or early on the same day
before people arrive (weather dependent); it won’t be practical to
undertake mapping missions and comply with CASA regulations while people
are planting / moving around on the site. The day after is there just in
case weather isn’t kind… and we might want to capture trees at the start of
their life as well.

Just had a thought strike me - is anyone in academia listening who wants to
start a project on yellow box woodland development? good opportunity here…
;)

Cheers,

Adam
