South (in red hard hat) leads students on a tour of Danzer Veneers log yard.Students in the Forest Products (FOR 210) class took field trips Tuesday to Wheeland Lumber Co. Inc. in Liberty and to Danzer Veneer Americas in Williamsport. At Wheeland Lumber, the students toured a high-production sawmill, log yard and millwork facility with Penn College alumni Damen R. ('00, forest technology, and '03, technology management) and Derek E. ('03, business administration: banking and finance concentration) Wheeland. At Danzer Veneer, students visited the log yard and production facility with Paul R. South, a 2016 graduate in forest technology. "Both tours were educational for the students," said Erich R. Doebler, laboratory assistant for forest technology, who accompanied the group and provided the photo. "It allows them to see in person and experience the manufacturing environment that is discussed in class."
