What happens here
The presenter begins the process of felling a red cedar tree. He is seen using a chainsaw to cut off lower branches to clear the area around the base of the trunk. Wearing a hard hat with an integrated face shield and hearing protection, he then makes the necessary cuts to fell the tree. He makes a felling notch on one side of the tree, followed by a felling cut on the opposite side, causing the tree to fall safely.
Goal: Safely cut down a red cedar tree.
