Program Manager: Mark Brown
Harvesting and haulage are priorities for the forest industry.
These activities account for some of the highest costs in the
forest supply chain, and provide many opportunities for
improvements in efficiency. Through projects in harvesting
systems, product value optimisation and forest transport
systems, the CRC for Forestry 'Harvesting and operations' program
collaborates with industry to conduct applied research to develop
and implement solutions to reduce costs, reduce energy use and
increase value recovered.
Research results bulletins: 'Harvesting and operations'
The CRC for Forestry 'Harvesting and operations' program makes
its results available through a series of short bulletins. If
you are a member of the CRC for Forestry, you can access the
bulletins on the CRC for Forestry members'
website. Otherwise, contact Program Manager Mark Brown to
inquire about obtaining copies.
