Synopsis

This book explores the implementation of a new, comprehensive logging system that simultaneously generated both hog fuel and logs. Conducted during August 1980 by the author and their team at four distinct cutting blocks, the study tested the viability of a mechanical harvesting system that processes small logs for use as hog fuel, while also separating and recovering valuable saw logs. These cuttings were monitored to evaluate the system's impact on stand regeneration, stand access, and economics. The author provides a detailed analysis of the result, offering specific recommendations for implementing the system at scale and discussing broader implications for forest management practices and economic viability. It will interest foresters, land managers, environmental policy makers, and academics.
