Hall of Fame
COMMUNITY STAR AWARD 2008 - Dr David Leaman
A Tasmanian geohydrologist. Dr Leaman has undertaken extensive research to investigate the implications of broadacre plantation establishment in water catchment areas. His research has demonstrated that the conversion of mixed wet native forests to rapidly growing, monoculture plantations has a dramatic and deleterious effect on water yields. He has made his findings available to the public through many presentations and has sought to warn the statutory authorities of the consequences of this practice. He has given his time freely to assist community audits in this matter.
