Selective Logging in the Farm

The farm experienced big number of mature trees cut and harvested last January 31-February 02, 2014. The buyer cut only trees where they can get at least 5x5 (length x width) inches of square logs. The big trees near my treehouse.


Another view of the trees felled and harvested.


A big mahogany tree that could be at least 50 years old was also harvested. The big slabs here can be used for furniture.


Notice the big branches and trunk of that tree. Nong Endring's hand and fingers were no match in size.


Small and thin trees below will soon get more sunlight, more minerals from the soil as the big ones tend to deprive them of more sunlight, more soil minerals.


Selective logging -- removing only the mature, overly mature, sickly trees -- leave the smaller trees to grow bigger later.
