Field training in Reduced
Impact Logging, certification, or related topics, are
organized by TFF on an individual request basis.
Interested forest management units may
choose one of the following training modules, or discuss
their individual training needs directly with TFF. TFF
will then prepare a detailed training proposal for approval
by the company.
Field training and demonstrations are
normally organized within the context of a working forest
concession and involve relevant management, staff, and
workers of the forest concession.
Training schedules are arranged on an individual concession basis. For the latest training schedule, contact TFF at tff@cbn.net.id
| Technical Procedures
for Topographic Forest Surveys |
This module covers the theory and
practice of contour and tree position mapping based
on the 100% inventory required under the Indonesian
TPTI system. Candidates learn how to collect the
necessary data and then how to process it and produce
detailed contour and tree position maps. |
5-7 days of field and office training,
usually out of a forest concession camp. Follow-up
support services and training are strongly recommended
to help develop interpretive skills and to ensure
the achievement of adequate quality control. |
| Road Planning and Field Location |
A field-orientated training in road planning and
location. The course covers road network planning
using contour maps. Special emphasis is placed on
actual road location and survey techniques. |
5-6 days field and office training, |
| RIL Planning and Implementation |
This module focuses on the application of petak-level
contour and tree position maps for maximum operational
benefit. Participants are required to develop a
detailed harvesting plan including the location
of skid trails. Environmental concerns such as steep
slopes and riparian protection zones are included
in the planning exercise. The course then requires
participants to carry out field location of the
skid trails according to technical guidelines. Skid
trails are opened using company equipment and the
felling and extraction process is initiated. A final
day in the office introduces the concept of guidelines
and Standard Operating Procedures. |
8-12 days field and office training based in a
HPH camp. Length of course depends on the depth
of coverage required and the level of integration
with company planning and harvesting operations.
The ability to produce accurate contour and tree
position maps is a recommended pre-requisite for
this module.
(This module can be divided two parts for easier
assimilation)
|
| Workshop on Forest Certification |
This module is intended for companies who are
interested in learning how forest certification
works. The activities can vary from a simple, introductory
workshop on forest certification, to a pre-scoping
field evaluation followed by a detailed analysis
of the company performance as measured against certification
standards presented in a workshop environment. |
One day introductory workshop to three day scoping
and workshop combinations. |
| Management’s Role in Implementing
RIL |
Workshop on what management needs to do to make
adoption of RIL an operational reality. Emphasis
is placed on structural and functional adjustments
within a clearly defined framework based on a set
of Standard Operating Procedures. |
One day workshop |
Post Harvesting Activities
|
This module introduces the ‘follow-up’
activities of RIL which tie it into the overall
management system. Emphasis is placed on monitoring
of logging activities, deactivation of skid trails,
and post harvesting evaluation and mapping of logging
impact. The practical role of a system of Standard
Operating Procedures is emphasized. |
Four to six days of office and field training |
| Training for Computer Assisted
Contour Mapping |
This module is a step-by-step approach to the
use of the ROADENG program for the purpose processing
general survey data from various sources and producing
contour and tree mapping. The training uses real
field data collected during conventional 100% inventory
surveys |
The ROADENG training has been held
in the past in collaboration with CIFOR, as a 5
day course.
These training modules are currently not covered
under any funding arrangement. Courses may be
offered based on adequate expressions of interest
and/or the procurement of adequate funding.
|
| Training for Computer Assisted
Road Design |
This module is a step-by-step approach to the
use of the ROADENG program for the purpose of road
design. The training also includes data collection
requirements and procedures. |
| Community Development and Conflict Mitigation |
Training, workshops, directed studies etc. designed to address specific needs of concession |
TFF draws on contacts in the social sciences community to tailor inputs to specific needs of a forest concession. Funding is through negotiated consultancy arrangement. |
