How is lumbering done?

Answer 1

There are several reasons, but a primary one is that frozen ground is easier to move logs over than muddy soil. In older times, logging in the winter also allowed you to stack the cut logs on river ice, so that when the ice broke up in the spring the logs would be 'driven' downstream to the mill. Also, with the cold most of the under brush would be dead and trailblazing would be easier.

Answer 2

Lumbering involves cutting down trees, removing their branches, and then transporting the logs to a processing facility where they are cut into various sizes and shapes for commercial use. The process requires special equipment like chainsaws, harvesters, skidders, and trucks to efficiently harvest and transport the lumber. Sustainable lumbering practices aim to minimize environmental impact by replanting trees and preserving forest ecosystems.

Answer 3

When you hear insects being said to be lumbering, it means they are flying from flower to flower. Basically mindlessly flying around from flower to flower like it is lost or in another world.
