Skyline Organizing Committee

 

Periodically, the accumulated technology gained by experience and research of various organizations, public and private, is disseminated at the Pacific Northwest Skyline Logging Symposium. Traditionally the event has been hosted by one of three Pacific Northwest Universities, UBC, OSU and UW. In 2001 the symposium is hosted by the University of Washington. As in the past, the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) is a co-sponsor, with the objective of helping to coordinate mountain logging research activities throughout the world.

The symposium is also supported by the Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada (FERIC); Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WA DNR), the USDA Forest Service, the Pacific Northwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center (PNASH) and the The Northwest Center for Occupational Health & Safety Continuing Education (NWCOHS-CE).

 
 
 
   

  To insure the success and timeliness of topics for this symposium an organizing committee has been established. Its members are drawn from each of the participating universities and sponsoring institutions. The chair resides with the hosting university. The members of the organizing committee of the International Mountain Logging and eleventh Pacific Northwest Skyline Symposium are:
