Forest Techniques

Forest operations research is investigating the efficiency and acout the costs of forest management. The investigations are mainly focussing on mechanized harvesting as this is causing by far highest costs within forest enterprises. The practitioners are continously informed on recent results via media and other presentations.

At present, the main activities of the Division of Forest Operations are the testing of:
• equipment, tools and machines designed for forestry use
• operational techniques, and of different forms of their use, and their applicability to forestry
