A technical visit to the nursery and depot site was organized for the students of the Vezirköprü Vocational School Forestry Department to support applied education. Within the scope of this technical application, students had the opportunity to gain on-site information about the storage of materials used in forestry activities, seedling production processes, maintenance practices, and field organization.
The technical visit was attended by Operations Manager Mecit Koçak, Assistant Operations Manager Niyazi Aksoy, Head of the Forestry Department Lect. Dr. Cemile Çakır, operation chiefs, forest guards, and students. During the application, students were provided with critical technical information regarding seedling production stages, storage processes, equipment usage, and the field management of forestry activities.
Contribution to Professional Development in the Field
While these applied educational activities aimed to reinforce the students' theoretical knowledge with field experience, they also made a significant contribution to the development of their professional awareness and practical skills. At the end of the technical visit, students expressed that having the chance to examine the different stages of forestry work on-site was an invaluable experience for their professional growth.
Acknowledgment: We would like to express our gratitude to the Vezirköprü Forestry Directorate for their contributions to this productive technical visit and for opening their doors to our students to share their knowledge and experience.
