types of logging
Clearcutting
Many logging companies use the clearcutting method to harvest timber. The clearcutting system removes all the trees in a designated area (typically a woodlot).
Clearcutting can be practiced to encourage the growth and proliferation of tree species that require high light intensity.
Shelterwood Cutting
Another common logging technique is the shelterwood system. As opposed to taking every and any tree in a particular area, shelterwood only takes trees that are of similar age and size. The key with shelterwood is that it leaves mature trees to support growth from seed trees. In other words, the shelterwood system naturally has a regeneration strategy in place.
Selective Cutting
As you might suspect by its name, the selective cutting system is the least destructive logging method. The primary difference about selective cutting is that it only removes trees of a specific type, size (or age), and quality. We use this method to cut a specific wood species or quantity. The primary benefit of selective cutting is that it doesn’t affect the growth of surrounding trees.
