Students consider the engineering, economic, and environmental factors associated with transportation and harvesting systems used in integrated forest resource management. These include forest road design and location; geotechnical engineering, and drainage; harvest planning, locating, and scheduling; and an international perspective on logging systems and their application in meeting silvicultural objectives. Prerequisite: Graduate students from a recognized technical college or university, with a major in forestry, biology, wildlife, natural resources or geography is strongly recommended. Also eligible are senior students who have field experience, and are enrolled in Thompson Rivers University's Natural Resource Sciences program. Note: Students cannot get credit for more than one of FRST 3070 and FRST 3073. ***This course is only available for registration to students residing in Canada***
