Investigation Summary
On January 6, 2016, a worker was felling a poplar tree that measured 70 feet tall and 15 inches in diameter. When the poplar tree fell, it struck a neighboring birch tree that measured 65 feet tall. The base of the poplar tree raised about 12 feet in the air and struck the worker in the head. A nearby skidder operator contacted emergency services and, upon arrival, the worker was determined dead.
