Logging is the process of cutting and processing trees to produce timber and pulp to supply the world& x27;s markets for furniture, construction, paper, and other products. The practice of logging ranges from large-scale commercial timber plantations to individuals harvesting fuelwood. Logging is the cutting, skidding, on-site processing, and loading of trees or logs onto trucks or skeleton cars. In forestry, the term logging is sometimes used narrowly to describe the logistics of moving wood from the stump to somewhere outside the forest, usually a sawmill or a lumber yard. Cut-to-length logging is the process of felling, delimbing, bucking, and sorting & x28;pulpwood, sawlog, etc.& x29; at the stump area, leaving limbs and tops in the forest. Harvesters fell the tree, delimb, and buck it, and place the resulting logs in bunks to be brought to the landing by a skidder or forwarder.
