From 1997-1998, the Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada (FERIC) conducted a partial cutting study in an immature hemlock stand in coastal British Columbia. The two partial cutting options used were commercial thinning and shelterwood harvesting. The results are presented in this report and include information on productvity and costs of the cable and ground-based harvesting systems used, effectiveness of falling and yarding techniques for the treatments, and information on post-harvest disturbance, wind damage, and residual tree wounding.
