First decent felling job info required

[skyhuck]

Some terrible advice, Just get on and get the trees down.

 

Why would you ask around trying to find objectors, madness

 

First question would be can you actually fell the trees in questions? if in doubt get a good cutter in to push it on.

Maybe, for an experienced and robust character / outfit.

That was not the intent of my suggestion, but I take your point, it might seem like madness to someone that's been around the block.

 

It was offered as an idea on the basis that (a) ive been on the receiving end of "public displeasure" which resulted in police attendance and I've seen the reputational damage that can follow a press / parish council witch hunt for perceived crimes against trees and it was offered as a suggestion for someone, as they put it, on a first job of this nature so as to potentially avoid hassles when the saws start.

We can certainly agree on the final part!

 

If we all thought the same way it'd be a dull old world

Quite right!

 

Get it down, get it out and get gone before the moaners can bend your ear too much!

As above, someone with more experience in commercial/ production forestry working it with you will be more than worth it.

And please ...keep them stumps low

If you're going to leave a band at the road edge for last, be aware of the microclimate of the area, as high winds could potentially take some of them out while they're not sheltered by the rest of the stand.

The only thing i'd add is really really think how ur going to extract the timber first, which direction, where ur tracks are going to be, ditches etc long before u start a saw.

 

Makes life a lot easier when all trees are facing the right direction (obviously depends wot lengths ur cutting to/extracting) even if u'll have to process in certain areas so machine cn use the brash for a matt
