 The Forestry JournalMarch 7th, 2010. The weather has been extremely warm, and the county has put road restrictions on until spring. This means that we will not be able to truck the wood from the job to the mill. The harvesting will still be able to continue, they'll just have to keep decking the wood up until the restrictions come off, and then start delivering it to the mill again. We are almost finished with the clearing portion of the harvest. The landowner wants to clear about 10 acres, so they can build some structures around the property. After the clearing portion is done, we'll begin the thinning on the rest of the property. Here is another video update from my last visit.
February 25th, 2010. The actual harvesting has began at the Rabbit Bay job. The weather finally got nice and cold, which helped freeze the roads in. Today I went out there to meet with the loggers again, and go over some of the final details. Everything is looking very good. Check out today's video to see the latest progress.
February 4th, 2010. I'm currently working on a timber harvest near Rabbit Bay. All of the contracts are finally signed, and today I went out to mark the property lines, and lay out some other cutting boundaries. I'm looking forward to sharing this process with you from start to finish. Forest management is a beautiful thing when done properly. Please check out today's video, and keep watching for more to come!
