In June 1989, Seamus Parker and Patrick Forrester of FERIC toured Sweden for two weeks to observe current silvicultural activities. The tour was jointly funded by the Canadian Department of External Affairs under the Technology Inflow Program (TIP), and FERIC. The report documents the observations made and information gathered by the authors. Current Swedish silvicultural practices and methods, particularly those employed by the larger forest companies, are discussed. The activities addressed are site preparation. planting, stand cleaning, pruning, and commercial thinning, with some comments on ergonomics and forest/machine interactions.
