[IUFRO Div 3] Forest Roads: regional perspectives from around the world

The IUFRO 3.01.02 Road engineering and management working group is hosting a bimonthly seminar series starting in September 29, 2020. The series will give an introduction to the design and construction of forest roads as relates to different regions around the world. We believe this seminar series will provide an interesting contrast of the design and construction of forest roads between the different regions of the world. The series will highlight where there are differences and similarities, and where these can be attributed to factors such as geology and climate. The speaker list includes Speaker Region Date Dr. C.
