Birch silviculture in practice
Le 14/06, 21/06 - La Roche et Héron
Forêtfor LifeLong Learning What is it?
The ForêtFor Lifelong learning (FFLL) training modules are a continuation of the basic Forêtfor cycle. These are 1 to 2-day modules that enable certain more technical subjects to be explored in greater depth.
Who is it for?
The FFLL modules are aimed at forest owners and their children. These are «perfectionnement» level courses and are therefore aimed at an informed audience.
The course is therefore open to people who have completed the basic Forêtfor cycle as well as people with basic experience, both theoretical and practical in forest management.
Practical birch silviculture« module»
The aim of this module is to show the silvicultural, ecological and economic potential of birch, to describe the technical itineraries for producing quality timber, to visit exemplary stands and through collective reflection and practical exercises, to acquire the skills to set up suitable birch silviculture at home. For this module, we will benefit from the expertise of Héloïse Dubois who, during her thesis, developed and experimented with these itineraries.
Day 1: Visit to «exemplary» stands (Friday 14 June)
Aims for Day 1: Visit to «exemplary» stands»
Héloïse Dubois, a forest manager, completed her doctoral thesis on birch and has developed, in the field, silvicultural itineraries to optimise individual growth and wood quality, in birch stands and various mixtures. We will be visiting some exemplary stands in which she has been able to put the findings of her research into practice for several years. Good practice in pruning, thinning, designating, pruning, routing and thinning will be presented.

Day 2: Practical work (Friday 21 June)
Objectives for Day 2: Practical work
The second day is only open to people who attended the first day. It is a practical application of what we learned on the first day. On this day, we will be working in two plots of natural birch regeneration. One is very young, mixed with larch and enriched with cell plantations, in which we will carry out depressing, formation pruning and initial pruning. The other is older, with stems to be identified, pruned and trimmed.
