FloraSearch Project
The FloraSearch project provided a comprehensive review of a range of native plants species suitable for development as commercial woody crops (including wood fibres, eucalyptus oil, bioenergy, fodder shrubs and carbon crops). It also undertook a regional industry potential analysis to identify regions within southern Australia with the greatest potential for developing new woody crops.
A series of research reports detailing the outcomes of this joint venture agroforestry program are available for free download:
