ABSTRACT
Tree harvesting aims at the removal of forest crops for the production of timber and
firewood. It essentially consists of a set of definite operations of felling and conversion of
trees to suit the subsequent extraction and transportation system. The methods and means
of timber harvesting not only determine the magnitude of material to be extracted and economic gains of the operation but also the preservation of remaining stand and site.
