Felling Designated Trees

What happens here

With the area prepared and safety measures in place, proceed to fell the designated trees using a chainsaw. The video demonstrates an operator making precise cuts to bring down a tree. It is essential to employ proper felling techniques, which typically include creating a directional notch cut on the side of the tree where it is intended to fall, followed by a felling cut from the opposite side. Throughout this process, have a designated spotter or another person operating heavy machinery, such as a Caterpillar skid steer (as observed in the video), on standby. This assistant can help guide the tree's fall or provide mechanical assistance with pushing the tree if necessary, ensuring it falls safely and in the intended direction. The person cutting is seen wearing ear protection, highlighting the importance of safety gear.

Goal: Safely cut down trees in the clearing area.
