Stacking Timber into the Sunset

We recently thinned a Pine wood in East Lothian with the timber being stacked at the top of a hill overlooking the stunning rolling farm land and the Forth Estuary. 

Extracting the timber into the evening I was treated to some amazing sunsets and beautiful colours. I thought I would share a few pictures of the views as well as the work being carried out, opening up this wood with our in house harvesting team.

After a long day in the tractor you are sometimes rewarded with a sight that other offices do not benefit from…

Just about finished extracting and running out of stacking space for firewood

Nearly the end of the day!
