Performing manual labor that will develop & protect forested areas designated for harvesting commercial timber in the future. Cutting of undesirable & diseased trees, spraying vegetation
to eliminate unwanted underbrush. Brush cutting/piling and the cutting of limbs of the commercial timber will be conducted in order to encourage the growth of the timber. Work will be
conducted in areas that were logged off 20 years or so ago and the unwanted growth will be eliminated in order for the standing timber to be able to mature at a greater rate. When
required, selected limbs of the remaining trees will be cut.
As required, brush will be cut, piled and covered for proper disposal of the material in a prescribed manner. All of the cutting, trees and brush, will be performed with the use of a chainsaw.
Employees are expected to maintain the saw, sharpen the chain in the field, maintain the correct fluid levels and properly break the saw down for cleaning. The combined weight of the
saw, fuel and oil is approximately 30 pounds and must be carried up and down difficult terrain ranging from 20% - 40% in slope. At times, brush will be sprayed first and then the employees.
will return to remove the vegetation. The employee must demonstrate that he can work in a safe and effective manner.
Due to wildfires happening in the area over the last few years, the companies we work for require fall tree planting, which will be added to our forestry activities.
