Webinar: Let’s Talk About Planted Forests will focus on Robot for Silviculture and Automatic Planting Machine
Planted forests in most case are installed on bare soils, allowing a higher mechanisation than naturally regenerated forests. In addition, as a result of plantation, forest pattern is more simple and regular than in other forests. Thus, planted forests are an interesting playground to test new robots, autonomous or not, to improve productivity at all stages of the forest management: plantation, weed control, thinning, harvesting. During this webinar, we do not pretend to give an exhaustive view but few examples of work in progress from different part of the world:
- Claire Stewart, Forest Growers Research, New Zealand: “An overview of the Precision Silviculture Programme from Forest Growers Research, New Zealand”
- Loïc Cotten, Alliance Forêts Bois, France: “Autonomous poplar planting machine developed by Alliance Forêts Bois”
- Harrie Lovenstein, Land Life, Netherlands: “Autonomous tree seeding: Aerial or Terrestrial?”
