Subject: Course
Description: This course, hosted by the University of Georgia (UGA), will cover both principles and applications of logging cost analysis techniques from the perspective of wood suppliers, procurement foresters, and independent logging businesses. Course content will focus on methods for evaluating production and cost records within the context of the evolving wood supply chain and current research. Upon completion of this course, participants should be well-equipped to better evaluate logging costs using a range of techniques.
Subject: Webinar
Description: An important part of tending timber stands is managing the density of the trees. Thinning removes unhealthy and low quality trees and focuses the site resources on the best trees. Thinning can bring increased return on investment from the sale of higher-value forest products; periodic income from the multiple harvests that lead to those higher-value forest products; improved access for equipment, people, and wildlife; a healthy, vigorous forest with less risk of insect infestation and destructive fire; and enhanced wildlife habitat. This will be a TEAMS webinar.
