Unique Timber Harvest with Cook Logging and Boreen Timber Harvesting - A Day as a Forester

In this video, I document my day helping to prepare this Ash Management Project on USFS land. I spend my time flagging roads, discussing how this project is unique, and enjoying temps above 0° for the first time in a week! Enjoy!

Curious to see how circular cutting will work in the long run. Try throwing a stick or snowball at the cab to get him looking around..LoL

Me too! I was able to tour some similar cuts in Aitkin County with members of the DNR, County, Feds, and some private agencies last summer. The cuts were two years old and had some impressive results!

@@dahlkeforestryservicesllc6489 it’s gotta be better than the strip cutting I remember them doing/ experimenting with up on the Buttonbox rd in some Jackpine, 45 years ago,the remaining trees couldn’t handle that and one at a time here and there blew over. I think they clear cut it off but I can’t remember.

Ya, I've haven't seen that Jackpine that you have, but I did see some ancient cedar that they tried it on. It didn't do a dang thing unfortunately haha.
