Forest Engineering video compendium

Compiled by Hunter Harrill and Rien Visser, School of Forestry, University of Canterbury.

Some great forest engineering video clips are available on the web that are really informative as to how our harvesting systems work. We have compiled what we think are really good ones in each of the following categories: General Harvesting, Cable Logging, Ground-based, Cable Assist, Historical and other videos. Video still images and sources are referenced individually. We hope you enjoy them!
