This workshop will teach you the basics of woodland roads and how they work through a combination of classroom and field-based instruction. We will cover standard types of roads, drainage features, and surface types. Participants will learn about effective approaches for monitoring that will help catch problems early and save money. Essentials of the new Road Condition Assessment (RCA) form, which is required for harvest notifications, will be covered as well.

Instructors:

• Francisca Marrs Belart, Timber Harvesting Extension Specialist
• Glenn Ahrens, Extension Forester for Clackamas, Marion, and Hood River counties
• Mike Thompson, Oregon Department of Forestry
