Empowering Small and Medium Scale Logging Contractors through Animal Traction
Workshop
hosted by:
The
South African Network of Animal Traction (SANAT) & the South African
Forestry Company (Ltd) (SAFCOL)
To

November, 2001.
Invitation
The
Workshop Committee have pleasure in inviting all those associated with or
involved in the Forestry Industry in South Africa to a Workshop on the use of
Draught Animal Power in the Forest.
Draught
animal power is widely utilized in the forests of Europe, England, Canada and
the United States of America, where it is used to compliment fossil fueled
machinery, to reduce capital and operating costs and to reduce environmental
degradation.
The
Workshop will afford delegates the opportunity to view some of the animal drawn
forestry equipment that has been developed overseas in action, to obtain the
latest facts and figures on the production that is currently being achieved in
other countries, using this equipment and to discuss the pros and
cons of both Fossil fueled as well as draught animal powered machinery in
the forest. It will be looking at a way forward for the use of this type of
power in South Africa, with particular reference to the small and medium scale
contractor, and the opinions and experiences of all who have something to offer
in this interesting field will be welcomed.
