FORESTRY
Timber harvesting is the main source of income for the plantation owner. Consultants have as much a part to play in the operation as the machines themselves.
- Prepare and submit relevant felling licences
- Measure and mark if necessary, trees that are to be harvested (subsequent thinning)
- Prepare files for timber buyers
- Forecast estimated harvest volume and standing timber to remain
- Prepare and submit applications for roading grants.
Measuring tree using callipers gives an accurate result
