The NAWLA Wood Basics Course was held in Jacksonville February 11-16 and had 37 participants. Reports from attendees and according to their evaluations, the course was excellent.
The four-day program included a mix of classroom study and field trips. Field trips included a tour of the Rayonier forest lands, study of sustainability, tree genetics, planting, a harvesting operation, the Gilman Building Products Sawmill and a house under construction. Classroom instruction boasted over 10 different industry instructors and working closely with the University of Florida, a session on forest ecology and silviculture.
The numerous presenters, most of which from our own member companies, kept the participants engaged throughout teaching the 12 different sessions of the program.
The next Wood Basics Course will be held September 9-13, 2007 in Corvallis, Oregon.
