Heywood Wood Wine and Roses Festival

Heywood Wood Wine and Roses Festival

Australian Bluegum Plantations was pleased to sponsor the wood chop competition at the 26th Annual Heywood Wood Wine & Roses Festival in February 2020. The festival draws people from across the region and features a street parade, truck and ute show with strong local support from ABP and the local forest sector.

The wood chop was the highlight of the festival with axemen and women from across Victoria, South Australia and New Zealand competing in a variety of events. Ray Caldwell of Mount Gambier who competed in the event, is also the In-Field Chipping Supervisor with one of ABP’s harvesting contractors.
