It’s our way of saying thanks and acknowledging these important contributions. “We will also celebrate achievements in the fields of operational performance and safety practice. Contracting businesses and workers are innovating all the time, finding better, more efficient and safer ways to get the job done. “AFCA is also proudly continuing our other individual categories to highlight achievements of an incredible female leader and of the next generation. “Thanks also to our award sponsors – ForestFit, Forestworks, Forico, John Deere and the Forest Research Institute.
