Logging companies rarely have the specialized equipment, not to mention proper insurances, to remove trees from an Urban setting. But even if they did, the cost associated with hauling equipment to a location and removing the bulk of an entire tree including its top is usually far greater than the value of the tree.
The total volume of the tree would be 225 board feet. The value of this tree would be $195.00 for an average of $866.00 per thousand board feet. A fourteen inch Red Oak with a grade 3 rating would be worth $12.00 for an average price per thousand board feet of $265.00.
The harvest plans provide crews with clear instructions that ensure each operation meets the strict environmental guidelines and any other considerations identified during the planning process. The plans are comprised of maps, site specific information and instruction on issues like: safety.
Timber harvesting involves planning harvest and reforestation; cutting trees and moving them to a landing; processing, sorting and loading; and transporting materials.
The term "timber sale" is used to refer to any significant harvest of wood products involving an exchange of monies. Timber sales may involve sales of trees used to make lumber (sawtimber), fuelwood, whole tree chips, pulp, or any combination of these products.
Salaries for loggers depend on the task in which they specialize. Fallers cut down trees using mobile felling machines and powered chainsaws. They earned a median $21.46 per hour or $44,650 per year as of May 2019, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
