1. Cut to Length Logging (CTL)
Fuel loading v. efficiency

2. Processing Heads

3. Forwarder

4. Why do we use CTL Gain efficiency in small diameter stands
Allows more options when matching whole tree systems with CTL systems
Decreases soil compaction
Processors walk on created slash while cutting
Forwarders walk on created processor slash when “skidding”
Smaller landing size
Benefits from nutrient cycling

5. Sugar TS – fir unit More fuel left in the unit 7-12 tons/acre?
Is Piling needed
Prescribed fire?
Cost effectiveness

6. Sugar TS – pine unit (220)

7. Smaller Landing Size

8. Sugar TS – LP and white fir (226)

9. Sugar unit 226

10. What’s the issue?
Still seeing “whole tree required” in planning documents
Would like to retain the option to log using either system based on efficiency and need
Discuss what is acceptable fuel load retention
Do we need to pile?
Can we use service work $$ for other acres and used prescribed fire to treat after logging?
