Forest management study tour
In 2009 the Norwegian Forest and Landscape Institute organised a 5 day study tour to learn more about forest management and timber processing in Norway. Participants included forestry professionals from Scotland, Sweden and Norway. The itinerary included visits to pine forests, processing and manufacturing companies, and the Norwegian Forest Extension Institute which provides forestry related training to forestry professionals and the wider public throughout Norway - see a presentation on the trip.
