To accommodate different tree sizes a number
of harvesting methods are used community relations manager
Mark Lathrop explains. We do
the mechanical harvesting the mechanical Harvester can only
do trees up to a certain size. So the trees get too
heavy and they get kind of unwieldy. So the larger trees
have to be fallen by hand. So those trees actually
after the Harvest is done. They'll come back through with a
Timber fall or and he'll go around and actually follow
those trees individually.

logs to the mill
Mark Lathrop, we have a machine a processor that picks
the log up strips and measures the length of the
log and then he strips the branches off of the log it cuts
the log to length and then he takes the top and the branches
and puts them over in a pile those branches and
the tops later on will be chipped
up into chips.
Put into a chip van and actually brought to the mill where
we have a Co-Generation Plant where we will actually burn those
chips and produce our own electricity.
