We have a traditional “tree-length” logging crew, as well as a chipping crew. Our scope of work includes, but is not limited to, contracting with several saw mills/landowners to cut, skid, load & haul wood from various tracts of timber in the surrounding area. This source of logging is needed for many different reasons, such as the use of paper, lumber to build homes, etc. To view more information about usage of timber, visit this link here. We also contract with biomass facilities (a.k.a. power houses) to cut non-merchantable timber for wood chips, or if you will, “biomass”. Biomass wood chips are primarily used as a source of energy. A better understanding for the usage of biomass wood chips can be found using the following link: Biomass Brief.
