    TEXT VERSION OF TITLE SLIDE:

    Title: Identifying the Appropriate Felling Distance (continued)
    Type: Text Slide
    Content:

    Lean of Tree
    It is generally easier and safer to fell a tree in the direction that it is already leaning. This makes for a cleaner fall and eliminates the need to use wedges, allowing gravity to do the work.

    Ease of Removal
    When possible, fell the tree so the butt faces the skid road. Also, fell the tree consistent with the felling pattern of other trees. This also makes for efficient limbing and removal.

    Slope of Ground
    Fell in a direction that will minimize the chance that the tree will roll or slide.
