Excursions in timber construction May/June 2023

During two one-day excursions on May 31 and June 2, 2023, the participating students gained interesting insights into the production processes of three wood-processing companies in Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt. Another destination was the Jena-Holzland forestry office in Stadtroda. Some impressions of the excursions can be found below.

We would like to thank the companies and the forestry office for the practical insights and presentations!
