6 - Harvesting Methods Flashcards
Define a Harvesting Method:
Form of which wood is delivered to the logging access road, depends on amount of processing occurring in cutover
What is a Cutover?
Area of land where timber falls.
What is a CTL?
Cut to Length
What are the three types of Harvesting Methods?
- Cut-to-Length
- Full Tree
- Tree Length
How does Cut-to-Length harvesting work?
Processes entire tree into logs before landing.
Where is CTL harvesting used?
Useful in small, widely dispersed areas.
Describe the methods used in CTL Harvesting:
Uses one -grip harvester with forwarder; trees transported off ground to landing.
Which harvesting method can be used in all silvicultural systems?
CTL Harvesting
Which type of harvesting has a decreased environmental impact?
CTL Harvesting
CTL Harvesting has ___________ roadside landings.
smaller
Which harvesting method has the ability to operate in Riparian / Reserve areas?
CTL Harvesting
Provide the 5 characteristics of CTL’s minimal roadside landing space:
- Easy sorting
- High piles
- Load trucks directly
- Less equipment traffic
- Road ROW narrows
Which harvesting methods uses a brush mat to minimize compaction / rutting?
CTL Harvesting
Describe the process of Tree Length Harvesting:
Tree is felled, top and branches are removed, skid to landing for further processing.
Where is Tree Length Harvesting used?
In small, widely dispersed logging operations.
What two harvesting methods are associated with clear-felling?
Tree Length and Full Tree
What type of tools does the Tree Length Harvesting method use?
Uses manual / chain saws, tree-length skid tree to landing / roadside for bucking.
Describe the process of Full Tree Harvesting:
Remove tree (stem and branches), skid to landing for processing.
Where is Full Tree harvesting mostly used?
Used in large, concentrated harvesting operations.
What type of machinery does Full Tree Harvesting use?
Uses feller buncher with skidder; delimbing and bucking at landing.
Full Tree harvesting is processed at ______________.
Roadside
What is SFM?
Sustainable Forest Management
Define SFM:
The management of forest resources to meet the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, encompassing ecological, social, and economic considerations.
What is a Policy Regime?
A set of sustained political arrangements, including state-societal relations, governing ideas, and institutions, that influence policy-making in a specific sector, such as forestry.

What is a Stakeholder Advisory Committee?
Groups composed of representatives from various interest groups who provide advice and input to decision-makers on policy issues related to forest management.
What is the Duty to Consult?
A legal obligation on the part of governments to consult with Indigenous peoples on decisions that may affect their rights and interests, stemming from constitutional and legal frameworks.
What is the main purpose of Wyatts (2008) writing?
The paper examines various models of forestry participation, including:
- forestry by First Nations
- forestry for First Nations
- forestry with First Nations
What type of forestry is “A forest management system that prioritizes the values, knowledge, and institutions of First Nations peoples, potentially integrating Western science and technology for sustainable management practices”?
Aboriginal Forestry
Define Ecosystem Management:
An approach to forest management that emphasizes the interconnectedness of living organisms and their physical environment, aiming to maintain ecological integrity and biodiversity.
What is “A voluntary process that verifies the sustainability of forest management practices based on a set of established standards, often including criteria related to indigenous rights.”?
Forest Certification
Forest _______________: The set of values, beliefs, and knowledge that shape how individuals and organizations perceive and manage forests.
Paradigm
Explain the Two-Row Wampum Belt*:
A symbolic representation of the coexistence of indigenous and non-indigenous peoples and their knowledge systems, suggesting a path for respectful and mutually beneficial relationships.
How does indigenous community forestry differ from conventional industrial forestry?
Unlike industrial forestry, which often prioritizes timber production and external corporate profits.
What three pillars does Indigenous Community Forestry centre around?
- Community Well-being
- Sustainable Practices
- Multiple Values
How does the recognition of Aboriginal rights impact forestry in Canada?
- Legal Obligations
- Shift in Power Dynamics
- Incorporation of Traditional Knowledge
What are the core principles of indigenous community forestry?
