Outline of the Japan Forest Engineering Society

The harvesting of timber and utilization of forests require expertise regarding eco-systems and the environment. Conflicting objectives such as economics and ecology, productivity and the environment, and harvesting and regeneration must be resolved and harmonized scientifically and technologically.

The Japan Forest Engineering Society was first established in 1951 as the Japan Forest Engineering Association. The purpose of this Association was to bridge the gap between research and actual forestry, and to promote the technology of forest engineering. The members encompassed researchers, administrators, forest engineers, forest managers, and forestry machine manufacturers.
