Forest Road Deactivation is a two-day class and field course that focuses on road deactivation assessments and prescriptions.

• Data Collection
• Field Observations
• Deactivation Techniques

This course is recommended for foresters and engineers, technicians, field staff from both government and industry or anyone involved in planning, inspecting, monitoring and supervising forest road deactivation.
