Learning What Forestry Crews Do

byGrace Gary, Northern Rockies Forestry Crew Member
A crew stands around a staff member, looking at a baby sapling tree.

Going into a forestry crew, I expected that my season would consist mainly of running chainsaws. But I have learned that there are so many other sides to forestry. Boundaries need to be marked for timber sales. Trees need to be assessed after forest fires. Trees need to be planted. Forests need to be surveyed.
 Timber sale areas need to be cleared of debris. Downed trees need to be removed from paths and roads. Corridors of roads need to be widened. And of course, there is also work with chainsaws.

This role has introduced me to aspects of forestry that I hadn't considered. And allowed me to meet people working in many diverse roles related to forestry and conservation.
