Selective Cutting
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.

-no ground exposed to sun, increasing the warming of the area in the summer and cooling in the winter.

-less water loss from soil.

 
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. Each chip being approximately one inch wide, three inches long and one half inch thick. The wood chips are blown into truck-tractor vans by the chipping machine to then be transported to a boiler or storage facility. Monadnock utilizes large machines for wood processing. Their “whole tree chippers” handles material diameters of two feet.
 
Land Clearing
A well thought out plan needs to be developed before land clearing operations begins. Priorities should be set for where, when and how much land will be cleared in a given period. There are several interrelated components to consider before proceeding with clearing operations.

Timber species, size, and density are all factors that determine what size of equipment is needed for clearing operations. Stands of sparse or small diameter timber may be efficiently knocked down by pushing with a bull dozer. Changes in slope across the parcel nay require different clearing schedules due to the effect on soil moisture conditions. Varying degrees of slopes may require different equipment or clearing techniques to maximize effectiveness, minimize potential soil erosion, and operate safely.

 
Storm Clean Up
We are currently offering our services in assisting local towns and communites clean up the mess that the 2008 December Ice Storm left us. For more information and details on this service, please see the "08 Icestorm" tab on the top of the page.
