Prepare Site and Identify Debris for Piling

What happens here

The first step involves surveying the land that has recently undergone timber removal. Large areas of disturbed, exposed soil, along with numerous tree stumps, roots, and scattered woody debris, will be present. Recognize that this exposed ground is highly susceptible to erosion, especially on slopes or near water bodies like a pond. The objective is to gather this debris to form structures that, even if temporarily, can act as erosion control barriers.

Goal: Begin by assessing the cleared land where timber has been removed, identifying large stumps, roots, and other woody debris that need to be managed. This initial clearing exposes soil, making erosion control crucial.
