Listen to a radio program on Australian forester E. H. F. Swain. This program is based on the work of John Dargavel, Gregory Barton, Brett Bennett and Keven Frawley. EHF Swain, born 1883, was a forester and an early conservationist. A passionate man who attracted enemies and acolytes in equal measure, he battled the development of agriculture with an alternative vision of how an Australian society and economy could run. He saw forests as the way forward in every aspect of Australian development.
