April 2018
We’re picking up where we left off to re-launch Mechanized Forest and Fire Operations. Fire season 2017 unfolded with a vengeance, and this Spring forebodes another long and costly fire season in several areas of the country.
We'll continue to share information on the essential role and versatility of forestry machines for the benefit of us all who strive to improve natural resource management. Contact us with your field stories and photos.
This month we are updating our feature article, adding new images, and linking to more resources. May 1st (May Day!) you can buy a Heavy Equipment Task Force t-shirt. Check out SKIDGINE today, and be the first to purchase a t-shirt at the May Day sale!
Spring 2017
We will cover more topics on mechanized forest operations in the coming months. Here you will find tips, techniques and examples for integrating incident resources. We will discuss mechanized task force tactics and lessons learned from land managers, fire overhead, equipment operators and contractors.
