CLEAR CUT
Clear cutting removes all trees from a site. This is usually done when there will be building on the site or to open up for views.
WHOLE TREE CHIPPING
Most forest stands contain a substantial component of trees too small, or for some other reason unsuitable for production of the usual forest products. Within the last several decades, the widespread introduction of whole-tree chipping technology in the woods by the Forest Industry has opened the possibility of converting this previously underutilized component of the forest resource into wood energy.
Whole tree chipping for wood energy is a highly mechanized tree-harvesting system. It generally consists of specialized machines for cutting and transporting the trees to a central location. The trees are then converted into small, easily transported wood chips which are blown into box trailers by the chipper to then be transported to a boiler or storage facility. The whole tree chipper used by Monadnock Landclearing & Chipping, Inc. handles material diameters of two feet.

SELECTIVE CUTTING is forest harvesting in which only certain species or sizes of trees are removed from an area. The selected trees are then used as timber or to make firewood and wood chips. The advantages of selective wood cutting include the following:
- Less disruptive to the forest environment.
- Harvesting only mature trees of desired size/type/quality.
- Less soil erosion and runoff into local streams.
- No disruption of fish spawning or nesting areas or any other wildlife habitat.
- Less surge of nitrates entering the water, increasing the growth of algae.
- Less ground exposed to sun, increasing the warming of the area in the summer and cooling in the winter.
- Less water loss from soil.
