Lindsay Hesketh

Lindsay Hesketh has been forests campaign coordinator at the Australian Conservation Foundation since 2001. In addition to campaigning for the protection of Australia’s rare and threatened natural forest and woodland ecosystems the task involves helping Australia’s wood products industry make the transition to well managed plantation and agroforestry. Lindsay was compelled to campaign for our magnificent forests having lived most of his life amongst the tall forests and rainforests of Victoria’s Upper Yarra Valley where he gained much knowledge about ecosystems and the domestic native timber industry.
