Synopsis

This book explores the logging industry's near complete harvesting method, a practice that removes not only usable logs but also all remaining sound dead trees and portions of live trees to maximize attainable resources. This revolutionary method was tested in Wyoming's Union Pass area, where it proved to increase fiber yield by up to 35% while reducing fire hazards and site cleanup costs. Its implementation showcases the burgeoning environmental consciousness within the logging industry and underscores the growing importance of sustainable practices. The book delves deeply into the processes involved in near complete harvesting, providing a comprehensive guide to its benefits and drawbacks, making it an invaluable resource for forestry professionals and anyone interested in the sustainable management of our natural resources.
