Description:
Join Kirk Hanson, Director of Forestry at Northwest Natural Resource Group, for part three of our pre-commercial thinning series. In this video, he demonstrates the techniques he uses to safely bring trees that are hung up in the canopy down to the ground.
In this series, Kirk takes us through stand assessment and tree selection, how to fell trees in dense stands, and how to get hung up trees on the ground.
The techniques demonstrated in this video should only be used by experienced chainsaw operators. If you have limited experience, we encourage you to take a training or work with someone who is.
Head over to www.nnrg.org to learn more about our ecological forestry resources. NNRG helps forest owners optimize the economic and ecological potential of their woods, with everything from management planning to harvest support to wildlife habitat enhancement.
