Primarily 2nd year of study, offered annually
Teaching form: 6-day excursion
Success monitoring for the students: Semester-accompanying certificate
Content and aim of the module:
A wide range of different excursion areas should familiarize students with the variety of management options, taking into account the respective site conditions. "Complex" means here: Silvicultural planning based on several disciplines of the Department: site science, vegetation science, forest utilization, forest technology, forest protection and nature conservation. In addition to the interdisciplinary discussions of forest images, special focal points in the fields of forest utilization, forest technology, forest policy and nature conservation are also an integral part of the excursion. Local forest managers make a significant contribution to the content of the excursion. These contacts, often established over many years, create a solid foundation for this excursion, as well as providing students with knowledge and a deeper understanding of geology, climate and natural vegetation.
The focus is on management methods for stands of the economically most important tree species in the low mountain ranges and hills (oak, beech, noble deciduous trees, spruce, Douglas fir).
