The Misiones sawmills survey began
The objective is to provide information on the current financing lines at the local and national level; and the supply of training available and the institutions that carry it out.
With the visits made by a professional team of census takers, a questionnaire is carried out that allows to know in detail the provincial industrial forestry reality in terms of the existing machinery, the level of technologies and the production of these industries.
This initiative is organized by the Government of the province of Misiones, through the Ministry of Agriculture and Production, and implemented by the Sub-secretariat of Forest Development.
In addition, it has the support of the APICOFOM and AMAYADAP chambers, the CFI and the Faculty of Forestry Sciences (UNaM).
From APICOFOM, its associates and industries in general are requested to "participate in this survey, receive and attend to the census takers, because from this initiative possible solutions can be carried out for the demands that become known."

Unusual finding: a pine forest in excellent condition emerges after 6,000 years buried under the ice
In the world there are millions of forests. Some are close to urban centers, others in remote and inaccessible places, but they all fulfill a key role: maintain the balance of the planet. They are literally the lung of the earth. When talking about a new forest, the first thing that comes to mind is usually reforestation, a recent plantation or the recovery of an area razed by fire. But this discovery is on another way. It is not a forest sown recently. It is an old forest, which was there for thousands of years, buried under the ice. And now, with the thaw caused by global warming, he has emerged again.

Burned wood: the Japanese technique that beautifies and protects the material
Elegant, ecological and resistant: the wood treated with the millenary technique called Yakisugi challenges the weather and the passage of time. In the world of design and construction, a Japanese ancestral technique is gaining prominence. This is the Yakisugi (also known as Shou Sugi Ban), a method that consists in burning the surface of the wood to make it more resistant and attractive. Although it may seem contradictory, exposing wood to fire gives natural protection against moisture, insects and deterioration over time.
