Summary
A forestry worker who safely fells bamboo materials in bamboo groves and performs transportation and collection.
Description
Bamboo loggers use hand axes, chainsaws, hand saws, etc., in bamboo groves to fell bamboo, perform limbing and sizing cuts, and process it into shapes suitable for transportation. They discern the quality and growth condition of bamboo to select appropriate ones, and collect and transport bamboo materials using cableways, back carriers, or machinery. The work is conducted in rugged outdoor terrain, requiring the wearing of safety harnesses and protective gear, and ensuring safety in the surroundings. They also consider bamboo grove environmental conservation and residual material processing, and completion of forestry-related safety education and technical training is required.
Future Outlook
With increasing attention to domestic bamboo grove maintenance and satoyama conservation, stable demand is expected, while successor shortages and aging pose challenges. Efficiency may improve through mechanization and technological innovation.
