Plant young trees, thin crowded growth, and help maintain forest land.

Measure harvested logs, inspect defects, and record how much usable wood a load contains before it becomes lumber or other wood products.

Control the machines that cut trees and move logs out of the woods.

Tree fallers read a tree’s lean, plan where it will land, and use chainsaws to bring it down as part of a logging crew.
