Session Index Core Training : Forest Ecology / Silviculture

The SFE training program was developed to satisfy the wood-procurement and harvesting requirements of the many SFI-certified wood purchasing companies in Michigan. SFE training consists of core (CT) and continuing education (CE) training.

Core training consists of 8hrs of training covering the Fiber Sourcing Standards,  MIOSHA Safety, Best Management Practices (BMP), Climate adaptation, Invasive species ID and Control , etc. An individual must complete the 8hrs in order to be trained under the core program.

Each company must accrue four hours per QLP (Qualified Logging Professionals) training each year as well. CE programs are offered by the MSU Extension SFE program, the Michigan Forest Products Council, and other agencies and organizations with an interest and expertise in aspects of forest management.
