Call for contributions for ETFRN news 52: "Chainsaw milling: supplier of local markets"
The European Tropical Forest Research Network (ETFRN) plans to issue an ETFRN News on “Chainsaw milling: supplier of local markets”. Chainsaw milling is the on-site conversion of logs into lumber using chainsaws, i.e. trees are felled and cut into boards at stump using chainsaws. This technique is very often used to produce timber for the local market in tropical countries: in many countries the majority or even all lumber offered on domestic markets has been produced by means of chainsaw milling.
The editors of this issue invite colleagues and organizations involved in the theme to submit a short article (maximum 3,000 words) on their work and experiences.
