An insight into the harvesting of wood from the forest. Lower branches are cut away with a chainsaw to make it easier for the harvesting machine to cut through the wider part of the trunk. The tree is then cut into logs. The process is controlled by a computer in the cab of the machine. The logs are gathered together for transporting to the edge of the forest. The trees are taken to a saw mill, stripped of bark and cut up. Nothing is wasted, as bark and wood chippings are recycled to make garden mulch and chipboard.
