Environmentally Sensitive Horse Logging at Berea College

[@urbanlumberjack]

These horse logging videos are fascinating. Seems the best compromise between efficiency and environmental concern. No massive loaders or trucks to compact the soil and tear it up, but still able to do a lot of work.

My great uncle lived in Missouri. He owned about 20 wooded acres on his farm that he heated his house out of for nearly 50 years. He had a 2 enormous mules that he used to bring the logs out and load them on a wagon. Sometimes, family or neighbors would get together and do it. He did not replant the trees. They just grew back naturally. That's the way country life was back then.

Would help if you used an arch to pull those logs out instead of dragging them flat. Keeps the logs from getting caught as easy and makes it easier to pull them out.

The challenge is going to be how to utilizing a lower value log thereby leaving the healthier trees on the stump.

Is that a butternut or walnut he felled there?

Joe, I really love your channel, but please, please, please get yourself a stabilized camera holder. The vibration is jarring.

[@Godfryness]

What breed of horses are those?

[@RuralHeritage]

I believe they are American Suffolks.
