We are dammed if we do, and dammed if we don’t. Forestry and the products we produce are part of the solution. We akso need to stop living such a disposable lifestyle. Apple are finally stopping producing electronics that unrepairable.

Good article Per, one of the main issues is the centralisation and streamlining of the forestry industry. Big machines need big volumes to work, saw mills need to be large scale, and are very restrictive on the type of logs they can process.
Small scale forestry supplying small saw mills can address many of the issues, and can quickly change…[Read more]Muz started the topic Big tree week in the forum Logging and Felling 1 year ago
Its not often that we get trees of this size in west Wales. Both trees had health issues, so they had to go.

I love the Echo saws once they are set up right, really good acceleration/ power. But they are let down by the dreadful AV mounts, your fingers really tingle after a full day on the saw.

First time out with the new setup. A bit weird felling trees with no physical effort, but i imagine i will get used to the comfy seat, heated cab, and radio.

You don’t need any distractions whilst felling,dropping trees is dangerous enough. And why do we need to be permanently connected, this world is getting more like the Matrix.

Thank you for the interesting and varied articles.Muz commented on the post, The green-green forest of Sweden 1 year, 10 months ago
Good to see a verdant green forest. You don’t seem to have many Brambles in your forest understory, but looking at the last picture i think the ground is too wet.

The loss of Ash in west Wales is going to have a major impact on countryside, we have about 40% Ash coverage here.
Interestingly we are starting to gain Elm again in the woods and hedgerows, but it is now the right age to host the beetle which carries the disease.
This site is going to be replanted with 80% Cherry and Oak, and 20% sorbus and Birch.Muz started the topic Ash Dieback in the forum Logging and Felling 1 year, 11 months ago
The young Ash trees in this woodland are dying with about 95% loss. All coming out and starting again.
