Sam Harrison saw at Benmore
Younger Botanical Gardens - Glen Massan side. Student Sam Harrison felling mature Douglas Fir to allow neighbouring trees to become part of a heritage stand 1964. Note safety measures at time of felling !!
How early is this chainsaw? Have techniques changed since then?
Sam was a student at Benmore Forestry School, Cowal from 1962 - 1964. and ended his career as head forester at Castlewhellan, Co. Down. He has fond memories of this time and would like to communicate with any colleagues who remember him; names include, but are not limited to, Michael Day, Peter Humphries and Justin Smart. Does anyone know these folk?

Remember the felling of this tree, it nearly went the wrong way!
