All of the above are under your control. Under wet conditions (most of the time in a woods) equipment will leave radical ruts. I would specify that no ruts be made greater than 4 inches deep. Use of draft animals or selection of devices to assure that depth max. I would specify that no tracks be cut directly down hill unless they are filled after use within 1 week of the final haul out. I would specify that multiple paths be used to get to the parts of the forest, not a few over used "roads". Lite use is easier to heal. I would use a licensed forester to select all trees to be harvested. I would specify all slash to be cut and all limbs over 5 inches cut and piled. (not necessarily stacked, but not left in the brush) I would specify that all slash be cut to no more than 2 ft off the ground. I would specify the amount of allowed collateral damage. This includes driveways, fences, and other trees that are destroyed when felling the large trees. Always specify a time line with costs for exceeding the dates and closure. Get front money weekly, before removal of timber. My family has had three harvests on our land. 2 successful, and one horrible. My cousin had no clue and did no control. Her 20 acres will take 70 years to return to its former nature. None of the above was attempted to be controlled. It cannot be walked through at all. it is basically trashed. Always get a second company to bid the job based on your specifications.
If they cannot handle your conditions you sure won't handle theirs. Jim

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
