What does timber extraction involve?

removing trees after felling cutting down trees only in winter removing branches only planting new trees after harvest

Correct Answer:

removing trees after felling

Explanation:

Timber extraction is the phase of a harvest that moves felled trees out of the stand to a processing point or landing. After trees are felled, the logs are delimited, cut to appropriate lengths, and transported from the site to a mill or storage area using equipment like skidders or forwarders. This step focuses on removing the wood from where it was cut, not on felling itself, seasonal timing, or simply removing branches. Planting new trees after harvest belongs to regeneration, not extraction.
