Mechanical Thinning

8/25/2016

Anyone who mountain bikes is likely familiar with the term, mechanical transportation and the claim that it is distinct from motorized forms of travel. Presumably then other activities in the forest should follow the same logic.  So when I heard the phrase, mechanical thinning I assumed it must be some type of non motorized logging.  So I did some googling. Guess which image came up.

Can we stop pretending that in common parlance mechanical means heavy machinery, not bikes?

I didn't know this could have saved not only human lives but the whole eco system as well. Thinning removes the part of trees which are easily combustible without hurting the trees. For the last ten years we though cutting the whole tree is the only option. This is simply the best way to reduce the risk of forest fires. I am going to be very supportive if there will be some information or volunteer drive that involves mechanical thinning instead of cutting trees. You see the latter really does not help.
