Stand back!!! Here she comes!!

Okay.  Hazards?  Lean?  Escape route?  Hinge size?  Felling plan?  Some of our Migis guys got more training today in a vital activity of Maine life.  Wow!  Taking down a handful of our precious Migis pines, some whose life and therefore safety have come to an end, takes skill and training and precise planning.  Very impressive!  The second of the day came down right on target, directly over tree number one.  They will go on to be recycled into wood products, so their usefulness as a renewable resource continues—a visible demonstration of the circle of life.

Keep those helmets handy!
