selective logging is not always the answer. there are a lot of factors including the land owner that go into deciding what kind of harvest is going to be done. for example one forest can be marked out like a target. starting with clear cutting the bullseye. then coming up 5-10 years and clear cutting the next ring. by the time you reach the outside the goal is to be ready to clear cut the center again. this keeps a forest with a an understory, midstory and topstory. This is just one method thouugh
I live and work in a small forestry village in the middle of the Galloway jungle Park in S.W. Scotland. I`ve operated harvesters ,processors and forwarders since I left school over 25 years ago, and would rather eat shit, than work in a city, or office for that mater. Don`t “dis” the global forestry industry just because your pissed-off with your last couple of employers. Since your useing both eyes unlike the rest of us, try looking at the larger picture.
Yea, I only live in B.C. and have worked in the forest industry my whole life. From diminishing trees to milling to loading the finished lumber on trucks. I guess i’ll never know as much about forests as some city living, know it all in Britian whos apprehensive about his investors. How silly of me too look at things with both eyes open.
I like how equipment allows complete nerds to work in the forest industry where they would otherwise be working at McDonalds. Im wondering if these ‘fallers’ are capable of starting a chainsaw? The machine has takin countless jobs from the workforce. The spiked rollers on the head ruin the first 1 1/2 inchs of wood and in natural settings(this is a farm, I know) the ground gets ruined and all new growth is ruined to get to the money trees. Selective logging is the way to sustain nature.
Not another dick-head tree-hugger that has not got a clue about the benefits of carbon capture in commercial forestry.
Get a life, then a job you loser
Your machines suck. OOOH now we can go quick and be really unsustainable, and make a few peeps rich. Huge forest companies are wasting dumb asses.
nah there made out of wood to lol cardboard

Thank for the information, Aha!
The tree plantations are Pinus Radiata (softwood) & Tasmanian Blue Gums (hardwood chips)
Was für Baumplantagen! Gute Darstelleung der Entwicklung der Holzverwertung.Da ich seit 1963 im Wald gearbeitet habe,habe ich die rasannte Entwicklung der Holzernte,hautnah mit gemacht.
What kind of tree plantations! Excellent film pictures of the development of the wood utilization.Since I have worked in the woods since 1963, I have the Rasannte development of the wood harvest, made very closely.

Hi RJM,
There are many companies in Australia & in parts of Australia there is increasing demand for forwarder & harvester operators. I expect it would only take a week or two to find work on these machines if you were qualified. You will need a work visa & have someone enter a letter inviting you to work for them. Search for Australian forestry & hauling companies & make contact
Is it possible that someone from the U.K. would be able to work in these forests if they where a forwarder O.P.
If they where keen to travel to Australia ?
Fires are a natural part of the cycle of the forest unless a vandal sets it stop. Many trees require fire so their seeds can grow and everything can regenerate.
It’s only a problem when men build themselves into places where they should not go
God I can hear them screaming, oh the pain they must be going through alot. Take into significance that with out the lumber industry here in America this country would be nothing. Where would everyone live? I got it how about those nice small boxes a refridgerator comes in!!!
Are you up for the challenge to be a man, and get a job? I work for the lumber industry, and you know what? Tree’s are a renewable resource, and if you let the tree’s die and start diminishing over the forest floor you are going to have even a larger forest fire. So that is a major reason why we log, another is to make it possible to have harvest for your house. Let alone with out logging you would not even have a house, toilet paper, pointed tooth paste, magazine’s, book’s the list get’s larger.
Tree hugger’s BS is all that I can read.
Get the book if you can, it’s not a ‘Tree Hugger’ book, it considers both sides of the tale, but the conclusion is that where ever man goes, all the trees fall in his path, and as one can see from their video on a mind bending industrial scale.
ive grown up in logging in texas and will be contacting u soon fantastic video
If you get the chance read, ‘The Golden Spruce’ by John Vaillant. Have a fantastic day
Our foresters consider growing, harvesting and regrowing trees as the win win win option – excellent for the environment, excellent for society (the harvest they produce) and excellent for the economy (Jobs).
Would you agree?
Indeed the subject is larger than destroying trees. Trees provide the air we breath, places where the animals and flora live, trees are the very living essence of this planet and can no longer be considered a cheap resource so we can read ‘Hello’ magazine and ‘package’ everything into clean rows. ‘Are you up for the Challenge’
The subject is larger than just “destroying trees”. It`s who wants the benefits of a industry that produces fantastic harvest that make life simpler and enjoyable.
If you don`t want a forest industry (that both destroys trees and regrows them), where will you get your low cost toilet paper, newspaper, cardboard, paper bags, magazines, timber harvest from? Or do you want a world without timber harvest?
Destroying trees has become like a video game. Who wants a career in destroying trees ?
