How to Harvest Trees for Healthy Forests

How to harvest trees for healthy forests is the topic for the day as I take you for a tour through some of the diverse habitat I have in my woodlot. Take note of the tips I provide on how to select trees to harvest for making into lumber while also planning for long-term woodlot health. By focusing on the end goal of your small woodlot, the trees you select for harvest today will ensure you get there. If you're fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to have a winter season, you may want to plan for harvesting trees at this time. Save the vegetation by throwing on an extra lawyer of long underwear as you plan to get out in your woodlot for tree harvesting. Although the cold weather won't be ideal, it sure will help you to avoid damaging existing vegetation and soil. Tips like this are scattered throughout this video and can help those of you who are looking at how to select which trees to cut down on your woodlot and the potential impacts this could have long-term. Thanks for watching everyone! Happy spring!
