WPMA joined the Forestry Hub at Fieldays 2024
This is the first time WPMA has been an exhibitor with a key goal of wider industry engagement and promotion for our members.
We talked and advocated to many interesting people, including members, non-members, wider primary industry, the general public and politicians.
106,000 people attended Fieldays, with visitors navigating a mix of sun, clouds and rain, reflecting the adaptability and spirit of the community.
