NMBU-Student På Utveksling

  From 07.07.2020 to 18.09.2020 I did an Erasmus Traineeship at Mendel University School Forest enterprise. The traineeship consisted of doing various forestry work assignments in the university forest and helping the employees in their daily work. I worked regular working hours for Czech forest workers, 40 hours per week. The first weeks I cleared ditches for branches and other remnants from harvesting from the forest. I also cut grass and did forest weed control in different young forest plots. This is to increase the young trees chances of survival and improving the growth conditions.   Later in the summer, I worked with chainsaw and did thinning in young forest stands. The work consisted of cutting down trees marked by another worker, so that the remaining trees will get better growth conditions. Some days I worked with another employee where we measured cut timber in the forest for revision. I also cleared trees and branches along forest roads to make them more accessible. Whe
