Gottstein Trust's History

Bill Gottstein was a forest products research scientist working for the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), when he was tragically killed in 1971 while photographing a tree-felling operation in New Guinea.

He was held in such high esteem by the industry that an educational fund was promptly created to perpetuate his name.

The Gottstein Memorial Trust Fund has since assisted in the funding of more than 100 Fellows. Amongst these Fellows are some of the most prominent executives in the industry today.
