The Silviculture 4.0 symposium is a non-profit making event aimed at information sharing and to encourage networking around the topic of current and future smart technologies from nursery to field. Registration fees have purposefully been set low to encourage and enable interested professionals and students to attend this event. Income generated through the minimal registration fees and support from sponsorships, will ensure the symposium will be adequately funded. Should any proceeds be realised from the event, they will be used to support students studying towards Natural Resource Management qualifications at the Nelson Mandela University.
