LFC board president Dave Martinson, local logger Brian Olby, and Katie Fernholz from the Community Forestry Resource Center meet on a coop member's land in advance of harvest to discuss the operation.

Harvesting during frozen ground conditions enables heavy equipment to be used with minimal soil disturbance. On this job, operations were sometimes ceased mid-day if the ground began to thaw.

Over 20,000 board feet was produced during this harvest.
