The mobilisation of forest resources in Burgundy-Franche-Comté nowadays relies heavily on mechanisation. In order to gain a better understanding of the companies and their associated machinery, the Regional Council of Burgundy-Franche-Comté commissioned FCBA to conduct a survey of companies involved in wood mobilisation and their forestry equipment.

It will update those carried out in 2014 in Burgundy and in 2007 in Franche-Comté.

The study, which will concern harvesting equipment in operation in 2022, will therefore make it possible to

  • Identify all the players in Burgundy-Franche-Comté and their equipment used for forest harvesting (logging machines, wood energy harvesters, forwarders, skidders, agricultural tractors equipped for forestry),
  • Acquire technical data on machinery (age, size, productivity, etc.) and their level of equipment,
  • Adapt public policies on aid for the purchase and/or renewal of forestry equipment,
  • To carry out the first observatory of forest harvesting mechanisation in the new Burgundy-Franche-Comté region,

Forest harvesting professionals in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, thank you in advance for your involvement and your contribution to this study, by completing and returning the survey forms that you will receive in January.
