This Was Logging - AbeBooks Loggingprocess of harvesting trees, sawing them into appropriate lengths buckingand transporting them skidding to a sawmill. The different phases of this process vary with local conditions and technology. In the 19th century logging was a hand process, and in some parts of the world it has remained one. In colder regions, trees are felled by ax in winter and conveyed by This Was Logging sled drawn by oxen, mules, or horses to a frozen river. After the spring thaw, the logs are floated downriver to a sawmill. In mechanized modern logging, trees are felled by crosscut saw or power-driven chain saw or, for trees of relatively young plantations, by a machine that cuts the entire tree in one bite. Trees are then cut into standard lengths and skidded to the mill by truck or tractor or conveyed to a central point by cable, either high above ground high-lead and overhead skidding or along the ground groundline skidding. Helicopters and balloons are also used This Was Logging transport logs. Local conditions may dictate uncommon logging methods. In India, teakwood trees are killed by girdling making a circular cut around the tree through the outer bark and cortex to interrupt the circulation of water and nutrients and harvested several years later.

  • IN 1850 a Group of Entrepreneurs Put a Log Boom Into Operation
    Transition in the Woods: J^og Drivers, Raftsmen, and the 8mergence of \3XCodern J^umbering in ^Pennsylvania N 1850 a group of entrepreneurs put a log boom into operation on the West Branch of the Susquehanna River near Williams- I port. The boom heralded a major transformation in the utiliza- tion of Pennsylvania's forests, a transformation that within two decades was to make Williamsport the leading center of lumber production in the world.1 However, the change did not take place without friction. The Susquehanna Boom and operations associated with it threatened pre-existing patterns of forest exploitation and those who depended on them. Tension mounted, finally erupting in open battle in the spring of 1857. In the end, the champions of the modern industry made possible by the boom won out. With their victory the pre-industrial phase of lumbering came to an effective end in Pennsylvania. The mid-nineteenth century was a pivotal period in the history of the American lumber industry. Previously, lumber and other forest products had been turned out primarily by small-scale, localized operations with limited capital and relatively simple technology. Often forest operations were mere adjuncts of agriculture. To be 1 James Elliott Defebaugh, History of the Lumber Industry of America (Chicago, 1906-1907), II, 591-607; George S.

  • Lumber Industry
    From: The Wisconsin River: An Odyssey Through Time and Space by Richard D. Durbin, p. 20-22. The Lumber Industry Logging in the nineteenth century meant eastern white pine. Called Wisconsin's "Empire in Pine," this magnificent tree ranged from Vilas County, where it was the predominate forest species, south to isolated stands in Dane County It has been estimated that the original stands in the Wisconsin River valley totaled about thirty billion board feet, nearly a quarter of that in the entire state. The three hundred- to four hundred year- old trees ranged up to 200 feet tall, although most averaged 120-160 feet, and their diameter at the butt ran from 4 to 7 feet. Usually, five to six clear logs could be cut from each tree. No other species was so highly prized. It was strong, sawed and worked easily and unlike most other northern species, its logs floated. Only after most of the pine had been cut and railroad transport established were hemlock, sugar maple, basswood and oaks taken. In 1852, a Wisconsin representative describing the Pinery to Congress said, "there are indeterminate forests of pine, sufficient to supply all the wants of the citizens for all time to come." But a scant fifty years later, almost all of it was gone and large-scale logging had virtually disappeared from the Wisconsin's basin. The end came almost before anyone realized it. Wisconsin went from being the number one lumber producer in the country at the turn of the century to number eight within the decade.

  • The State of the Forest and Recommendations for Forest Sustainability Standards
    The State of the Forest and Recommendations for Forest Sustainability Standards Final Report to the Joint Standing Committee of the 119th Legislature on Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry June 3, 1999 Department of Conservation Maine Forest Service 22 State House Station Augusta, Maine 04333 16 June, 1999 Senator John Nutting Representative Wendy Pieh Members of the Committee on Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Attached is the final version of a combined report of the State of the Forest and Sustainability Standards as mandated by the 118th Maine Legislature in April of 1998. Following our presentation of the draft report to you in January, we held three public listening sessions in Orono, Houlton and South Paris and solicited written comments during February. We made some revisions to the report based on what we learned during the public comment period. In particular, we have added sections on the following topics: Small, non industrial forest landowners (Issues); Non-governmental programs supporting sound forest management (Policies in Place) Outcome based forest policy (Benchmarks); and, The economics of sustainable forest management (Benchmarks). These reports are the first step in a mandated progression of reports over the next several years. The State of the Forest report discusses major forest issues, with greater detail and analysis of key issues. Since the Maine Forest Service is required to report on the State of the Forest biannually, successive reports will focus on key issues where the most concern and the best data exist. Future reports eventually will provide an assessment at the state level of progress toward achieving sustainability benchmarks. The Sustainability Standards section of this report proposes benchmarks for three of the seven sustainability criteria: water quality, wetlands and riparian zones; timber supply and quality; and, public accountability of forest owners and managers .

  • Minnesota Log Marks Elizabeth M
    Minnesota Log Marks Elizabeth M. Bachmann IN THE OFFICE of the Minnesota surveyor general of logs and lumber is a vault full of record books in which more than twenty thousand log marks are recorded. Their bulk testifies to the magnitude of the pine harvest in the days when lumbering was the state's leading industry. Large portions of the later records are in the fine Spen- cerian handwriting of Mr. A. D. Cook of Minneapolis, who was connected with the surveyor general's ofiice for forty-four years.^ He is rightly credited with knowing more about log marks than any other man in the state. A law which required that all log marks be recorded before the logs bearing them could be moved was passed in 1858. It provides, in part, that anyone cutting logs in the state "shall, before proceeding to mark the same, deposit in the ofiice of the Surveyor General in whose district the logs may be, a copy of the said mark which is to be put upon the said logs," but that the mark must be distincdy different from any other mark recorded in the same district.^ The practice of marking logs in Minnesota, however, goes back farther than 1858. In 1851, when Minnesota was still a territory, the Mis­ sissippi Boom Company and the St. Croix Boom Company were incorporated. The law establishing the companies provided that they should "sort out the logs and timber according to their several ^ The records accumulated by the surveyor general's office fill about 26,000 volumes and cover the years from i860 to 1945.

    General Technical Report PNW-138 June 1982 REHABILITATING AND ENHANCING STREAM HABITAT: 1. REVIEW AND EVALUATION JAMES D. HALL and CALVIN 0. BAKER U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station ABSTRACT The literature and many unpublished documents on rehabilitating and enhancing stream habitat for salmonid fishes are reviewed. The historical development and conceptual basis for habitat management are considered, followed by a review of successful and unsuccessful techniques for manipulation of spawning, rearing, and riparian habitat. Insufficient attention to evaluation of past work has slowed the development of habitat management for anadromous salmonids in the West. Recent developments, including improved design of structures to accommodate variable streamflow, show promise of permitting increased application of these techniques. Past work in the West has emphasized management of spawning habitat. We recommend increased emphasis on rehabilitation and enhancement of rearing and riparian habitat. The importance of a strong program of habitat protection is emphasized. 1 KEYWORDS: Fish habitat, habitat improvement, riparian habitat, anadromous fish, salmonids.

  • The Challenge of Managing for Healthy Riparian Areas
    Chapter 1 The Challenge of Managing for Healthy Riparian Areas Elon S. Vet-t-y and C. Andrew Dolloff “Learn to read the land [the river], and when you do I have no fear of what you will do with it: indeed, I am excited about what you will do for it.” Aldo Leopold, 1966 - A Sand County Almanac “There is a need to place such common resources as water, land, and air on a higher plane of value and to assign them a kind of respect that Aldo Leopold called the land ethic, a recognition of the interdependence qf all creatures and resources.” LunaLeopold, 1997 -Water, Rivers and Creeks Clearly, Aldo Leopold, a forest ranger, a wildlife biologist, a director of wood-use research, and a small woodland owner, called those in natural resource management to do two things: read the land and manage it - “. I have no fear ,of what you will do for it.” Thirty-one years later, Luna Leopold, Chief Hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, Dean of Geology at The University of California-Berkley, and river restoration advocate, emulated his father’s “Round River” when he called us to recognize the interdependence of land, water, air, and all creatures. Neither rejected their past, and neither rejected the many uses nor many users of our forest lands. Aldo Leopold worked to restore his cut-over and worked-out Sand County farm and woodland to take a productive place in their Wisconsin community. At the heart of managing for healthy riparian areas is seeing them with this same sense of community.

  • Multiple-Use Forestry, Clearcutting, and the Politics of Fish Habitat in British Columbia, 1945-70
    “Nonsensical and a Contradiction in Terms”: Multiple-Use Forestry, Clearcutting, and the Politics of Fish Habitat in British Columbia, 1945-70 Richard Rajala n welcoming delegates to the fourth British Columbia Natural Resources Conference at Victoria’s Empress Hotel in February 1951, provincial minister of trade and commerce L.H. Eyres described Ithe province as “our home and our workshop.” It was the workshop analogy that preoccupied the assembled executives, administrators, scientists, and educators, the idea that British Columbia’s array of natural resources constituted “our stock in trade,” as Eyres put it. But those resources were “practically … worthless,” the minister declared, until put to use. Thankfully, British Columbia was a busy workshop indeed. Almost fifty thousand men were engaged in the forest industry, producing nearly $400 million in wealth in 1950. Mining ranked second, agriculture third, and then came the fisheries, employing twenty-one thousand and generating $63 million worth of products. The convention’s theme, “Co-ordination or Conflict,” hinted at the problems a booming resource-based economy had begun to confront, and Eyres wished his audience well in achieving conservation and wise use while turning 1 resources into “payrolls, the life blood of this economy.” Eyres’s address conveyed the prevailing conception of conservation as “rational planning to promote efficient development and use of all natural resources.” Professionals and business elites held fast to this credo during the postwar years. Speaking to the 1945 United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union Convention (ufawu), federal fisheries official R.E. Foerster defined conservation as “the wisest utilization of resources so that they could be maintained and exploited in perpetuity.” Readers of the timber industry’s Forest and Mill periodical received the same dose 1 L.H.

Newton∗ DOI: 10.15763/jou.ts.2021.01.05.03 __________________________________________________________ Between 1922 and 1947 Barbra Bird regularly accompanied her husband, a forester, on trips to lumber camps in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York. They trekked into remote forests in the winter on snowshoes, making their way to piles of logs stacked on to skidways where Bird’s husband would measure them. The loggers Bird visited would wait until enough snow fell and they would load the logs from the skidway on to sleds for a longer haul. On one of her hikes Bird stumbled upon a hauling road that intrigued her. She wrote that, “In order to make hauling easier the roads [were] covered in ice up to two feet thick.” These iced roads could extend dozens of miles, providing a slick surface for the horse drawn sleds. The roads were created by a “sprinkler box,” a large watertight box typically 8 x 8 x 4 built on runners that held up to sixty barrels of water (image 1).
