Marion/Polk SWA – Low Impact Logging Demo
Come watch the low impact logging system that Mark Havel has developed over the last three decades and uses each year to capture the high timber prices of winter and to get some thinning harvests done. Mark has taught classes at Tree School and has traveled and presented at forestry field days in forested regions of the US, demonstrating log arches and forestry techniques. Also see equipment manufacturer, Tom Repko, demonstrate his tractor grapples. They will drop at least one tree and haul out at least one log, with all the principles and tools explained and used. This is for those that have never done their own logging as well as loggers that can share their experience. Come prepared for the weather with warm clothing, raingear, boots, hats etc.

The Forest Health in Oregon: State of the State virtual conference
State of the State conference occurs every-other-year and is meant to summarize forest health issues in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. The focus is on major forest insect and pathogen activity and emerging issues, as well as weather phenomena such as drought and heat waves, and of course fire. We seek to inform foresters, forest industry, agency forest managers, small woodland owners, forestry and natural resources extension volunteers and agents, and anyone interested in forest health in Oregon, about these important issues that influence forest health. In 2022 we are also focused on tree decline issues regarding western redcedar, big leaf maple, and Douglas-fir.
Dates: March 1-2, 2022
Time: 8:00-12:00 each day
