Timber Harvesting
Real horsepower moved the logs in the early days.
Not so long ago logging
railroads, horse teams
and crews with crosscut
saws were common.
Many West Virginians can
warmly recall hearing the
train's whistle as powerful
locomotives rambled out of
the mountains.
Today our company contracts
with professional timber
production companies to
harvest the trees we purchase.
Each fully insured and licensed
company is extensively trained
by the State regarding compliance
with West Virginia's timbering
and clean water regulations.
Rubber tired skidders are used to transport the trees to the landing area from the woods.
The trees are merchandized on the landing for the highest paying market. This dandy log will be exported overseas.
Modern trucks, safely loaded, get the product to the highest paying market.
