I’ts an easy life to be a forester in Sweden. Only two softwood spices and very little hardwoods. But the landscape is a little bit more boring compare with your hardwoods. And you are better in taking care of the hardwoods over there. If you are interested, you can find a lot of videos at our Youtube channel: youtube.com/skogsforum

Hi Dean! Nice to see you here at Forestry.com! I understand what you’re looking for but I can’t remember I have ever seen someone doing that. To re-errect windthrown trees.

It’s a really sad situation with the dying ash. Same here in Sweden even if we don’t have so much ash in our forests. Same with elm to. Probably even worser than the ash. What will the next generation be at this site? Thanks for sharing you video!

Very nice feature about your logging work and equipment. I post a link to it here for others to read: https://www.woodbusiness.ca/thinning-bc-logger-finds-sustainable-success-commercial-thinning/
It would be great to see some pics and specs of your small forwarder. Is it something similar in size to the Malwa forwarder, except for the tracks?…[Read more]

Pruning of pine shouldn’t be done in the fall. But despite that, I went to the forest to take a closer look on how to do. Just to check the tools and the methods.

Interesting video, thank you for taking the time to make.

I suppose Scotts Pine is Pinus Silvestris in latin? That’s the only Pine we have as a natural specie and consistently we just call it Pine (“Tall” in Swedish = Pine).

No, sorry but I have no contacts there. But try to contact them by mail or phone. Many universities are happy to get real projects for their students or researchers to take part in.

Good luck!/tbj.
