Peplers In Rye: CS32 Medium Tree Felling chainsaw course - felling oaks



Good blog post on tree felling... Monte

I've had some time off work this week to do the CS32 Felling Medium Trees (380-760mm) chainsaw course. Our instructor is David Rossney of Esus Forestry Training - Tracy and I did the coppice harvesting efficiency course with him a few years ago too. Basically, after this course, and exam, I'll be qualified to fell trees up to 30" diameter.

There's some felling videos to come in a moment, but first a few pictures. We've been learning about properly removing the buttresses of the trees:


How to make an accurate gob cut when the tree is wider than the chainsaw bar:
 

and also about high-lift felling wedges:
 

and how to use them:
