Oct 28, The strip cut is one of the easier forms of management to explain in a short blog like this. It is quite simply, as its name implies, a narrow strip in a mature part of the forest where most trees are harvested at one time. Of course, there are always some variations of the “text-book” definitions.

Mar 17, Preparing a typical shelterwood condition could include three possible types of cuttings: 1) a preliminary cut might be made to select high yielding trees to leave for seed production; 2) an establishment cut can be made that prepares a bare soil seed-bed as well as trees that provide seed just before seed fall; and/or 3) a removal cut of overstory seed trees that have established seedlings and Estimated Reading Time: 5 mins.

May 25, The process of timber harvesting is comprised of five basic tasks: Timber acquisition (moving to the tree). Felling and preparing the tree for extraction (delimbing, topping, and segmenting). Extracting the tree to a central location or landing (skidding or forwarding). Loading the tree for transport to the mill.

Transporting the tree to a mill. It can be more costly per unit of wood removed to cut only a few, selected trees, rather than cut most or all trees in the stand. The greater the harvest expense per tree, the less the harvester may be willing to pay for the trees. Fourth, what a timber buyer will pay for your trees depends on the conditions of the site in which they are growing, which affects how expensive it is to remove them and haul them to a stumpdelimbing.barg: strip cutting.

Selection: a form of partial cutting which involves maintaining or achieving a continuous uneven-aged forest by harvesting a limited number of trees, of various ages and sizes, over intervals of 5 to 40 years either in small groups (group selection) or individually (single tree selection). Regeneration occurs in the gaps created by logging.

Christmas Trees: There is nothing better than having a fresh-cut Christmas tree. It is a great family activity and harvesting Christmas trees is also usually good for the forest as each time one is cut you are helping the forest from becoming overcrowded which also reduces forest fire severity.

When the Seed Tree method is employed, the sequence of activities can include 1) seed cut (establishment cut) to establish a new age class and, 2) Steed Tree removal cut.

Seed-Tree Removal Cut - A final removal cut that releases established regeneration from competition with seed trees after they are no longer needed for seed under the seed-tree regeneration method. Reserve trees are retained.
