The video above demonstrates the harvesting of a mature aspen stand at Fallen Timbers in 2018.  We are managing this forest to benefit both wildlife and humans.  Our goal is to promote the regeneration of this aspen stand to increase the number of deer and overall biodiversity in this section of forest. The trees were used as pulp and a few snags were left standing as habitat for cavity nesting birds and insects.  We have witnessed an increase in deer sign and activity since the harvest.  Notice how quickly these machines fell, trim, and, cut the logs to size in preparation for the mill.  We also utilize this area as one of the locations in our Tree Identification/Forestry class.
