Where: Brix 527, 527 Jackson Street, Roseburg
Topic: "Innovative Cable Yarding Methods" with Heath Harvey. There's more than one way to log a unit, which is why some loggers can't survive these tough economic times while others find their niche market. Heath Harvey, of Harvey Selective Logging, has designed specialized equipment and techniques to perform timber harvests in difficult terrain and through sensitive areas that sets him apart from other logging companies. His company is able to do downhill yarding in thinnings without damaging the residual stand, and harvest units without building roads that other loggers would typically require. Brix was a success for our last monthly meeting, so let's fill the place again!

Forestry From the Ground Up, OSAF Annual Meeting, April 7-9
The Marys Peak chapter of the Oregon Society of American Foresters (OSAF) invites all interested forestry professionals to explore "Forestry from the Ground Up" at the OSAF annual meeting in Albany, Oregon on April 7-9, 2010. As the title suggests, the program will emphasize current and emerging on-the-ground strategies and practices for managing forest resources.
The meeting will be conveniently located at the Linn County Fairgrounds near Interstate 5, with plenty of nearby lodging choices. The location and its proximity to OSU allows for a unique and fun event the first evening, a BBQ dinner with special activities involving forestry students. A banquet and awards dinner will follow on the second evening.
