Lyndall completed her PhD in forest sector innovation with the Wood Innovations CRC at the University of Melbourne in 2005. Prior to joining Timbercorp in Perth, she led a national study of forest-sector skills shortages for the peak industry associations, NAFI & A3P. This study helped catalyse the National Forestry Masters Program.
Dr Bull will be based at the ANU in Canberra, but will work across Australia with forest sector partners, including Timbercorp. Timbercorp’s General Manager Forestry, Tim Browning, said “Lyndall is a terrific gain for the Forestry Masters Program and -while she will be a loss to our company - we recognise the importance of her role to the continued success of the Australian forestry industry. We’re especially pleased she will be able to continue working with us as a special projects consultant, and look forward to contributing students to her stewardship as well as drawing future employees from it”.
Peter Kanowski, ANU Professor of Forestry and Program Co-Convenor, said that Dr Bull was an ideal choice for the Program: “we wanted a convenor who could work with academics, students and partners across the forest sector, and contribute to innovation in forestry education and knowledge. Lyndall’s perfect for this nationally-important role”.
