Planting:
Firstly, land is drained to allow rain to drain away freely. Trees are then planted into the drained land. Fences are put up to keep out animals that might cause damage.
The Story of a Tree:
Thinning:
The trees are thinned when they are about fifteen years old. This gives more space and light to the remaining
trees.
Harvesting:
Trees are ready for harvesting at thirty to fifty years old.
Clear felling takes place. This is when all the trees are cut
down in the one area.
