PROPER PROCEDURE FOR TREE FELLING

See Figure 30.
1.

Pick your escape route (or routes in case the intended
route is blocked). Clear the immediate area round the
tree and make sure there are no obstructions in your
planned path of retreat. Clear the path of safe retreat
approximately 135° from the planned line of fall.

2.

Consider the force and direction of the wind, the lean
and balance of the tree and the location of large limbs.
These things influence the direction in which the tree
will fall. Do not try to fell a tree along a line different
from its natural line of fall.
