Teaching Methodologies
Theoretical-practical teaching with a strong practical component to be developed in the Forestry Operations and Techniques Centre (COTF – Lousã) and in the ESAC woods or other forest area.
Learning Results
Know the machines and equipment used in forest exploitation. Forestry operations carried out within the framework of forest exploitation: – importance of planning forestry operations (slaughtering, processing, extraction and transport of woody material), integration of ecosystem constraints, hygiene and safety at work standards, and principles of sustainable forest management.
Program
– Use of chainsaw and brushcutter;
– Manual felling, with a chainsaw;
– Processing of woody material, by manual methods using the chainsaw;
– Use of mechanized felling and processing techniques, and use of exploration equipment in cultural cuts;
– Use of extraction and transport techniques;
– identification of operating machinery and equipment available on the market;
– fulfillment of the objectives, integrating ecosystem restrictions, hygiene and safety at work standards, sustainable forest management principles and aspects related to the defense of the forest against fires.
