COFE-FORMEC 2022
The Council on Forest Engineering (COFE), the International Symposium on Forest
Mechanization (FORMEC), and the International Union of Forest Research Organizations
(IUFRO) Division 3 will meet in Corvallis, Oregon.
This year's international meeting is the in-person forum on cutting-edge scientific
research and innovative practices in forest operations and engineering. The 2nd IUFRO
Division 3 Doctoral Conference will be held alongside this 2022 Joint Meeting.
One Big Family – Shaping Our Future Together will focus on building a strong community of
forest engineering across continents and sectors. Together, we will learn from each other
and shape our future

Tech advancements and trials with mechanized planting
ForestTECH 2021/22 event focussed on advancements in automated silviculture with a
particular focus on mechanised planting operations – new technology, developing
technologies and an insight into results from local forest trials and commercial planting
operations. In short, like Europe and South America in particular, the cost and
availability of labour for planting have both been major drivers to testing out mechanised
planting operations here in Australasia.

FORAC 20 ans - 20 years
FORAC celebrates its 20th anniversary this year! In 2002, a partnership was born between
academics and industry to accelerate innovation and expertise within the Canadian forest
sector. Over the years, FORAC has distinguished itself as a training and innovation
center. This congress will cover different aspects such as the history of FORAC, serious
and educational games, the future of forest products, international forest industry and
more. Two panels are planned: an industrial panel bringing together high-ranking people
who will discuss the challenges facing the forest industry, as well as a panel bringing
together former FORAC students who will explain to us how their training at FORAC
influenced their career.
Where: Lac-Delage, Quebec, Canada
When: May 31 – June 2, 2022

Forest Operation in the Tropics: Timber and Non-Timber Forest Products
Forest operations in the tropics should be carried out to promote sustainable management
of tropical forests. The fact that tropical forest is well recognized as the harbors of
the Earth's biodiversity has made tropical forest play an important role in the global
environmental issue. More information
here<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi…
The Division's area of activity includes all aspects of forest engineering (including
forest infrastructure, machinery, and operational methods in all forestry practices and in
all types and ages of forests); operations in forest nurseries; operations related to
silvicultural activities; operational planning, management, modelling, information
systems, and control; work study, payment methods and labor productivity; ergonomics,
including health and safety; operations related to small-scale forestry; harvesting and
in-woods utilization of both timber and non-timber forest products; logistics; and the
interface between forest operations and environmental protection, including site
impacts.
