Head of the Department,
Borys Bakay



The department of Forest Engineering and Forest Roads, as one of the leading departments of the university, with the name "Department of Forestry Mechanization" has been created since the Lviv Forestry Institute was founded in 1945. The department heads were: Ph.D., Prof. Plaksin M. V., Ph.D., Prof. Batin I. V., Ph.D., Assoc. Prof. Savytskyi Yu. H., Doc. Science, Prof. Shkiria T. M., Ph.D., Prof., Honored Education Worker Adamovskyy M. H.

During the existence of the department there was an offshoot of one of the important directions of modern timber industry – automation of technological processes, on the basis of which a separate department is currently functioning.

Since the establishment of the department, its staff, along with the training of personnel for forestry, has been constantly involved in the implementation of research and design work on the substantiation and creation of promising techniques and technologies for forestry, forest harvesting, wood production, construction and operation of forest roads. The scientific-pedagogical staff of the department in its work covers almost the whole list of areas of branch science.

Much of the scientific development of the staff of the department is made in the direction of substantiation of the processes of division of wood along the fibers, the results of which have written one monograph and protected one doctoral and four disertations. About ten models of new machinery and existing models of logging equipment were created and put into production, which was demonstrated at two International and seven All-Union exhibitions (1969-1988). The department received the diploma of the winner of the Scientific and technical creativity of young VDNG – 80 and the International exhibition "Lisderevmash-84" one silver and four bronze medals VDNG USSR.

In terms of research work, the department's staff  intensively and productively worked on and continues to work on the problems of logging production (technology, equipment and environmental safety), creation of multi-operative stationary and mobile machines using manipulators, development of equipment and technologies for processing low quality wood and new ways of primary processing of tree length.

The staff of the department have always participated in international conferences, regional seminars, meetings on the issues of improvement of branch education, science and production. The Department maintains contacts with related foreign educational establishments in Belarus, Latvia, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Germany, Sweden, Spain, Denmark, USA etc.

Areas of research focus include the development of advanced technology and equipment, forest restoration, harvesting and processing approaches, and the management of threats.

Specifically, the research program aims to:

  1. Rationale of environmentally sustainable methods and means of timber raw harvesting.
  2. Implementation of technical facilities and mechanized complexes for logging development of felling areas with complicated relief conditions.
  3. Development and research of installations for timber cutting, sorting and stacking at warehouses of forestry enterprises and woodyarding technologies on their basis.
  4. Development of technologies and equipment for primary wood processing.
  5. Design of forest roads network and rationale of promising technologies for their construction.
  6. Ecological technologies of forest exploitation.

The department has a rich history of conducting research with a strong emphasis on addressing "real world" problems. This is attributed mostly to our prime location as well as the recruitment of faculty with substantial industry and consulting experience.
