Q&A’s

Mount Laguna Whole Tree Chipping

1) What kind of trees?

Conifer

2) Are they live or dead trees?

Both, majority of trees are green but there will be some dead trees mostly from recent bug kill.

3) Why do you have your agency cut the trees and not include it in the contract?

To avoid potential excessive time with logs on the ground prior to chipping, for agency feller training and currency, and for cost reduction.

4) If my machine specs state that it cannot chip over 22"DBH, can there be any part of the tree left on the ground un-chipped?

Any tree bole material that is unable to be chipped between 22"-24"dbh, may remain on the ground, however all other tree parts (bole, limbs, top, ect.) Under 24"dbh that can be chipped, must be chipped on-site.
