Steep slope solutions to take the stage at OptiLog

Faced with environmental, policy and demographic challenges that are here to stay, Canadian contractors must innovate and adapt to survive.

Winch assisting is one such innovation, but its success requires loggers to understand and apply key research, learnings, insights and methodology.

New Zealand logger and owner of DC Equipment, Dale Ewers, is taking the stage at OptiLog – Forestry Tech Forum on June 8 in Kelowna, B.C., to share learnings from the past decade of winch assisting.
