Forest Management Methods

Information from the course leader

Welcome to the course Forest Management Methods!

The course starts Tuesday March 25, and the roll call will take place in Silvicum at 13:00-15:00. It's important that you show up at the roll call since you will be given a lot of information.

During the course, we will have a couple of mandatory excursions. Those are marked in the schedule. Already the second week of the course March 31-April 4) we will be out in the forest on a couple of one day excursions. In May, 12-15, we will go on a longer excursion up to Asa experimental forest outside Växjö and stay over night in youth hostels.

The lectures will be taught by teachers from the department but there are also invited lecturers from the forestry sector. I encourage you to take part in the lectures, since knowledge and information given during the lectures might not be easy to find elsewhere, and you also learn a lot from the discussions and interactions between other students and the lecturers. So please be present and active!

The book used during the course is a classical textbook; Ashton, M.S. and Kelty, M. J. (eds) 2018. The practice of silviculture – applied forest ecology. 10th edition. John Wiley and sons. Pp 776. ISBN: 978-1-119-27130-7.

I'm really looking forward to seeing you all and to get to know you during the course!

Karin Hjelm, course leader
