Felling Trees
Felling Trees


More people are killed while felling trees than during any other logging activity. 

These accidents CAN be avoided!


To "fell a tree" means more than just cutting it down. Felling means to cut the tree in such a way that it falls in the desired direction and results in the least damage to the tree.
