Bernie Farquhar has been in contact with an update on the Lucas Mill which the Club provided assistance to purchase to help the clean-up after the 2020 fires in Gippsland.
Bernie advised that the milling project has been a real challenge starting a complete organization from scratch that has to meet Government funding criteria and complying with environmental policies but to see the product produced and the letters that are being received from farmers is amazing and rewarding.
There are now two mills operating, two Toyota 4wd with purpose built trailers equipped with every tool rope and chain imaginable and 4 great guys loving their training and certificates in Forestry and mill operations.
