Jocky Towns felling in Glen Brittle Forest
The photograph is courtesy of the family of George Dey. George took many forestry photographs in his forestry career and many are now shown on this web site. Check under ‘Groups’ and George Dey Collection.
Classic shot of a feller laying in a Sitka spruce tree prior to carrying out the actual felling cut from the other side. Jocky Town is listed as the operator but the resin covered visor hides his face very effectively. He has obviously brashed the lower branches off the tree with the chainsaw to give a clear area to work in.
Perhaps someone will name the saw type and model? There is a better view of it in the PDF where Jocky is snedding the felled tree.
