This Tree Felling Toolbox Talk equips crews with real-world strategies to identify hazards, plan each cut, and avoid deadly mistakes like barber chairs, falling limbs, and poor escape routes.
Perfect for logging contractors, wildfire response crews, utility vegetation management teams, and fallers in silviculture or maintenance roles.
