· This course looks at wood as a natural resource: how it is harvested and also its properties and how it is used. This includes learning about how forest management practices affect timber quality.
· Students learn about efforts to develop techniques of sustainable timber harvesting with minimal negative environmental impacts, in both the tropics and in temperate forests, and why best practice is not always followed.
· Visits to an active harvesting site and a local sawmill enable students to experience these operations first hand and discuss them with the people in charge.
