Tree felling techniques

Tree felling techniques involve carefully planning how to cut a tree to ensure it falls safely and precisely. The process starts with assessing the tree's structure, surroundings, and wind direction. A notch cut is made on the side facing the fall, followed by a back cut slightly above the notch to create a hinge that guides the fall. The feller then monitors the situation, ensuring clear escape routes. Proper technique minimizes damage and risk, and sometimes additional equipment like wedges or ropes is used to control the fall. Skilled application of these methods ensures safety and efficiency during tree removal.
