Working in both Eucalyptus and Pinus species he was involved in selection of and utilizing improved genetic stock, and establishment research including site preparation and selective herbicides.

In the late 1970s, Mike Connell was attached to the Australian Tree Seed Centre collecting Eucalyptus and Acacia. With CSIRO in the 1980s he carried out research into forest ecology and management of native Eucalyptus forests. Since the 1990s, Michael Connell has specialised in silvicultural management of eucalypt regrowth for wood production - carrying out work in collaboration with Forests New South Wales, Forestry Tasmania, the Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment, and VicForests. In 2005 he began a forest consultancy business. He is a long-serving member of Forest Practices Consultative Committee - Research Working Group 4 Native Forest Management, and of the Institute of Foresters of Australia. Following reviews of native forest thinning strategies he produced a series of publications on best practice silvicultural methodologies for commercial thinning of south-eastern Australian eucalypt forests.
