Garry Richardson was born in the Huon Valley in 1950 and joined the Tasmanian Forestry Commission straight from school. Over 39 years he rose to being an experienced practitioner who acted as reviewer and mentor during the introduction of the state's Forest Practices Code — a career spanning enormous change in how Tasmania managed its forests. This is his own account, full of anecdotes reflecting the range of skills and life experience gathered across a forestry career, and the friendships built with colleagues across the wider forest sector.
Edited by Steven French, Hand Made in Tasmania profiles 39 craftspeople working in Tasmania who left conventional careers for a trade, each sketched over two to four pages.
