Logging Camp

The Logging Camp is one of the Buildings in Tropico 3 used to take trees growing on the island and convert them to logs. Logs can be exported or sent to a Lumber Mill to be converted into lumber. Logging Camps do not have garages, so for the logs to get to the Dock, a Teamster's Office or Garage should be built nearby. For a starting island, a logging camp is a great source of income as it does not require educated workers and the resources are renewable, as the trees will grow back in time, unlike the minerals that a Mine collects.

Hints & Tips

 * Trees will grow back in time, unlike minerals from a Mine.
 * Building a Lumber Mill to convert logs into lumber will increase income from exports.
 * Should not be built near areas Tourist visit, as the logging will decrease the beauty in that area.
 * Logging Camps should not be built in the forest, as trees will be removed for it to be placed. It is better to build on the red areas next to the green forested areas.
