Residue Treatment
Residue Treatment : A collective term for actions taken to eliminate slash from logging operations in order to make land available for regeneration. Four different techniques are commonly used: (1) Grinding - to crush and cut woody debris into small chips for dispersion over the ground or for sale as fuel (for example to be used for heating). (2) Site Preparation Burning - A type of prescribed burn that is lit to remove slash left after logging burned timber. The purpose of a site preparation burn is to prepare an area for regeneration activities. (3) Stockpiling - the creation of a stored supply away from the site that has been logged to be used for one or more purposes in the future. (4) Windrowing - piling woody debris into long continuous parallel rows
