About this simulation
A 90-minute, 4-round basic Express simulation for Spanish vocational training (Formacion Profesional), modules 0814 Gestion de montes and 0810 Gestion de los aprovechamientos del medio forestal (Tecnico Superior en Gestion Forestal y del Medio Natural, Real Decreto 260/2011).
The learner is the newly qualified forest technician of a fictional private pine forest of 1,240 hectares in the Serrania de Cuenca, with a management plan, over the first twenty years of the plan in four five-year periods. Eight decisions over four rounds: the cut and the thinnings, the regeneration and the fire defence, the sale and the slash, the bark beetles and the close of the twenty years.
Scored on sustainable harvest reached, management cost per hectare and year, fire risk and environmental and certification incidents; three tempting choices come back later, and two critical errors (plant without a supplier's label, healthy stands cut without the declaration) cap the round. Lesson: cutting above the possibility is borrowing from the forest. Spanish primary, English parity.
