Clear-cutting
Shelterwood Cutting
Selective cutting
Methods of Harvesting Forests
Trees up to 25" in diameter can be cut with the XL25.
Methods of Harvesting Forests
Loggers remove every tree and leave a barren landscape.
When replanted, the new forest grows uniformly in
species and size
Methods of Harvesting Forests
Clear Cutting
Involves clear-cutting only part of an old growth forest
Small groups of seed bearing trees are left so the area will
regenerate.
Shelterwood method is often used in forests that have grown
and aged evenly
Methods of Harvesting Forests
