WATERTOWN — Students at the Howard G. Sackett Technical Center will get a chance to try their hand with a logging simulator Wednesday as a part of an event marking National Bioenergy Day.
The simulators replicate field machinery used to cut and gather trees, and are being provided to the Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services for the day by forestry equipment dealer Nortrax at the request of ReEnergy Holdings, LLC.
According to a BOCES news release, National Bioenergy Day is a nationwide day of advocacy for all kinds of heat and power generated by woody biomass and agricultural waste, from large-scale utilities to home heating stoves.
