Project Forest’s Post

During her second semester, WIDE Trust grant recipient Sophie Cusack explored courses in wood science and forest management. These courses deepened her understanding of the chemical and biological aspects of wood, as well as wood processing and the management side of forestry. “I enjoyed learning about the chemical and biological aspects of the wood, wood processing, and the management side of forestry,” she shared.

This semester, I had the opportunity to dive into Kathleen Gabler's fascinating research on how tree species influence fuel accumulation and fire behavior in montane longleaf pine ecosystems. Her work is focused on understanding the role of different tree species in fire dynamics, which is crucial for effective fire management and ecosystem restoration. Writing this article was a great learning experience as I explored the complexities of fire science and land management, an area I had no prior knowledge of. As always, thanks to Auburn University College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment for offering such unique research opportunities! https://lnkd.in/e-tPXHFs

Multiple classes of students from Davidson Road Elementary spent the day in the park learning about forestry, wildfires and ecology. A part of their day was spent learning from Grade 11 and 12 students enrolled in the Rutland Secondary School (RSS) Forestry Academy. The RSS forestry program is led by teacher Marshall Corbett, a former shop teacher with a background in environmental sciences and extensive experience in the outdoors. The unique dual-credit program aims to teach students about forestry-related careers with a focus on developing practical knowledge in the outdoors through hands-on learning. With the credits earned in the class, students can transition directly into a career in forestry, like wildland firefighting. "For me, the tree planting part is important but the really big benefit here is having these students learn from each other," said Corbett. "The older students are learning how to teach and how to share what they've learned and the younger students being able to connect with someone who is a little bit younger instead of just having an adult or a teacher telling them what to do." With the help of the forestry students, the pint-sized planters learned about the role wildfire plays in ecology and how tree planting can help a burned area recover. "They're showing them what they've learned over the course of the program and as I've walked around I've noticed they're starting to talk about various plant species and other pieces of ecology," said Corbett. 🔗 https://ow.ly/GyeA50TXsxA #forest #forests #trees #forestry #tree #learning #learn #students #teaching #education #foredbc District of Lake Country School District 23: Central Okanagan

What do you need to join a logging crew? At a minimum, you need a high school diploma, but a degree in forestry helps. If you pursue a degree, prepare to study science, math, economics, and natural resource policies. Logging isn't what it used to be. Now, its focus is #sustainability and the responsible management of our forests. Video courtesy of the Oregon Forest Resources Institute. #forestrycareers #forests #careers

【Study on the Influence of Aspect Ratio on the Seismic Response and Overturning Resistance of a New Staggered Story Isolated Structure】 Full article: https://lnkd.in/ge8_qW8u (Authored by Tiange Zhao and Dewen Liu, from Southwest Forestry University (China), etc.) Because the isolated layer of the frame part of the new staggered story isolated structure is in the middle of the structure, compared with the traditional seismic isolated structure, the new staggered story isolated structure can effectively reduce the total weight of the superstructure. Therefore, it is necessary to study the #seismic_response and overturning resistance of the new staggered story isolated structure with different #aspect_ratios. This paper establishes three new staggered story isolated structure models with different aspect ratios and analyzes the seismic response of the three models as well as the overturning resistance of the superstructure, substructure, and the overall structure. #Isolated_Bearing
