Techniques in forest engineering must not be transferred directly from developed countries. They must match existing social, economic, and physical conditions. In Iranian temperate Forests, the importance of forests in supplying non-wood forest products such as water and soil protection, climate adjustment, ecotourism and wildlife is more than others and need to be considered when decisions are made about forest engineering activities, such as road construction and forest harvesting. Forest operations, as an impor tant part of integrated forestry, should be planned from the point of view of sustainability of both timber and non-timber forest products. It is evident that a concerted effort is needed to encourage forest development programs that harmonize interests in conserving forests as well as to wisely use the potential of the forest while maintaining its full regeneration capacity. All forest engineering activities, such as forest resource surveying and harvesting planning, forest road planning and construction, harvesting, post -harvesting site disposal, planting a
