Second Thinning

This was the stand about to be thinned.  It had been thinned once and we had been using prescribed fire on this parcel for several years.

This is what it looked like after the thinning.  we hope to burn this parcel this summer to get all the benefits from the thin. 

The logger that thinned this stand is one of the best!  He takes pride in his work and you don't have to wonder if it is being done correctly.  Your property always looks better after a thin when  he leaves.

Here is a load being removed from the forest by the pullout truck.

This is a little forest in the making.
