Introduction to silviculture

The 6 June 2026 - Namur

Objective

Rediscover forestry work for a day! This field training provides a quick grasp of forest management in all its facets: forest ecosystem functioning, site analysis, regeneration, formation pruning, thinning, target trees, choice of future species, sustainable management... Practical exercises will allow you to immerse yourself in different silvicultural tasks.
