1 1 NREM 2112, TIMBER HARVESTING SPRING 2015 Instructor : Dr. S. Hiziroglu 303-G Agricultural Hall Phone : salim. hizirog@okstate.edu CLASS : Tuesdays 9:00-9:50 am, Room Agriculture Hall. LAB : Fridays 12:30-3:20 pm. Room 019 Agricultural Hall OBJECTIVE : The objective of this course is to develop basic understanding of theory and strategies of planning and management of timber harvesting, techniques including felling, bucking, skidding operation, cable yarding, harvesting cost analysis, safety aspects of harvesting, and principles of forest road building. CLASS NOTES : This is not a textbook, it is a collection of drawing, graphs, and copies from various sources which illustrate important principles of the subject that will be discussed within the course. The student is suggested to take additional notes directly on these pages during the lecture. Supplementary reading assignments will be given to the students during the semester. GRADING : 1- Exam points 2- Exam points 3- Homework points 4- Road surveying map 200 points 5- Class attendance...50 points 6- Final. 275 points Total..1,000 points FIELD TRIP : Harvesting site in South Eastern Oklahoma will be visited. Field trip is compulsory. (Hardhat is required). April 2-3, 2015 (Thursday-Friday). NREM Timber Harvesting, Spring 2015
