Event Description


Recently, Maritime Pacific Engineering has been involved in introducing new steep slope harvest systems and determining how these impact local environs. The webinar presentation will include a background on these novel systems and will address some of the challenges encountered. Due to the recent deployment of these systems, not a lot of longer-term feedback has been gathered. We hope to engage participants to provide feedback and discussion as part of the webinar.
