Detailed explanation-1: -Clearcutting is the most destructive form of even-aged logging. In other forms of even-aged management, loggers will leave a seed tree or two to drop pine cones and restock the area. Another even-aged logging method is removing some trees initially, and then removing the remaining trees at a later date.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many large-scale logging companies use the clearcutting method to harvest timber. The clearcutting system removes all the trees in a designated area (typically a woodlot). The reason many logging companies practice clearcutting is simply because it’s fast and cheap.
Detailed explanation-3: -OSHA requires at a minimum: hard hats, eye protection, hearing protection, and foot protection for all woods workers. Chain saw operators must wear cut resistant leg protection and logging boots. Equipment operators should wear seat belts.
