USDA Announces Pandemic Assistance for Timber Harvesters and Haulers
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced in July that it is providing up to $200 million of relief to timber harvesting and timber hauling businesses that have experienced losses due to COVID-19, as part of the USDA’s Pandemic Assistance for Producers initiative. Loggers and truckers can apply for assistance through USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) through October 15, 2021. The Pandemic Assistance for Timber Harvesters and Haulers program (PATHH) is administered by FSA in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service. The USDA says timber harvesting and hauling businesses that have experienced a gross revenue loss of at least 10 percent during the period January 1 through December 1, 2020, compared to the period January 1 through December 1, 2019, are encouraged to apply To be eligible for payments, the USDA says an applicant (an individual or legal entity) must be a timber harvesting or timber hauling business where 50 percent or more of its gross revenue is derived from one or more of the following: • Cutting timber • Transporting timber • Processing wood on-site on the forest land (chipping, grinding, converting to biochar, cutting to smaller lengths, etc.) Payments will be based on the applicant’s gross revenue received from January 1, 2019, through December 1, 2019, minus gross revenue received from January 1, 2020, through December 1, 2020, multiplied by 80 percent.
Infrastructure Package
The AFRC reported that while many details are lacking on the specifics of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure package, Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Joe Manchin moved a plan through his committee for spending the $100 billion it has been allocated under the agreement. The plan, which was approved by the committee on July 14, would provide more than $5 billion over five years for forest restoration, wildfire, and hazardous fuels reduction efforts. The plan includes: • $500 million for “ecologically” appropriate thinning • $200 million to remove “flammable vegetation” • $200 million for post-fire restoration within three years of a fire • $300 million for “ecological restoration contracts” covering at least 10,000 acres • $200 million for Good Neighbor Authority and Tribal Forest Restoration Act projects 4
• $400 million for financial assistance to sawmills and other wood processing facilities Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) was able to secure additions to streamline forest management activities, including an amendment establishing a 3,000-acre Categorical Exclusion (CE) for fuel breaks to create defensible space for firefighters, protect communities, and slow the spread of wildfires. The other amendment would codify the Forest Service’s existing emergency situation determination to streamline restoration and salvage work when there is a risk to public safety or natural resource value.
Mercer International Acquiring Former Katerra Plant in Spokane Valley for $50 Million
The Spokesman-Review reported that Mercer International Inc., a global pulp and forest products company based in Vancouver, Canada, is expanding into the cross-laminated timber market by acquiring the former Katerra plant in Spokane Valley. Mercer International received approval from a U.S. bankruptcy court to purchase the 270,000-square-foot manufacturing facility for $50 million. The facility, located on 54 acres at 19202 E. Garland Ave., is equipped with state-ofthe-art automation technologies and is capable of annually producing more than 140,000 cubic meters of cross-laminated timber. It is the largest cross-laminated timber plant in the nation, according to Mercer International.
OSU Scientists Collaborate on Road Map for Adapting Forests to New Fire Regimes
Oregon State University (OSU) scientists and collaborators from throughout the western United States say that thinning and prescribed burning are crucial parts of adaptive management for seasonally dry, firedependent forests such as those east of the Cascade crest. In a paper published this week in Ecological Applications, Andrew Merschel, James Johnston, and Meg Krawchuk of the OSU College of Forestry, join other researchers in acknowledging the role of Indigenous fire stewardship in past and present landscapes and the value of restoring that stewardship – intentional low-severity burning that reduces fuels and is important culturally. The Oregon State team was among dozens of scientists across the western United States who teamed up on three papers that the journal published simultaneously, all dealing with approaches for managing fire-dependent forests following a century of fire suppression and in the face of climate change.

Stepping up to Fire The Problem
By Jan Jackson
W
hen Lee Miller, presi-
dent and CEO of Miller Timber Services in Philomath, Oregon, sees a need that isn’t being met, he gets his team together and does something about it. His recent project was working with Ponsse to turn his regular forest machines into impressive pieces of firefighting equipment. It has taken two years, but they’ve done it. Ponsse, the privately owned Finnish company specializing in forest products and equipment, employs more than 1,800 people in 10 countries. They have years of experience coming up with quick, easy, and simple ways to equip their large and medium sized forwarders with firefighting equipment that contains centrifugal impeller water pumps and water cannons that are powered by the machine’s loader hydraulics.
When Miller Timber Services (Miller) appealed to Ponsse for a better way to fight fires, Ponsse immediately called on their experience with the machines they already had doing similar work in Finland and South America and began modifying a machine to meet Miller’s specific needs. The first one in North America, the new machine comes complete with a 2,640-gallon tank equipped with a powerful hydraulically controlled pump and water cannon that can rotate 360 degrees and reach 160 feet. The spray direction, angle, and pattern range from water mist to a solid stream. Jouni Viitikka, who has managed Ponsse sales in Western Washington, Oregon, and Northwestern California since 2015, worked with Miller at Ponsse’s main office in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, long before the company added a branch in Coburg, Oregon. “We look at our customers as business partners, and working closely with them is

TimberWest Magazine — July/August 2021 — www.forestnet.com
pretty much what Ponsse does,” Jouni said. “Lee Miller has about 30 of our machines at work on at least three different firefighting crews, and half of their harvest machines are cutting trees and opening fire lines. They’ve carried water before, but they never had water cannons on their equipment. He came to us and said, ‘Hey, we need something more.’” Jouni explains that Miller was looking for something similar to what they use in Finland for fighting peat bog fires. “In Finland, we don’t have these big forest fires like in the U.S., but there is a peat-land-like swamp where they lift peat for burning in power plants, and sometimes there are fires on them. Those are really difficult to put out because the ground is too soft to go in there with the big trucks or anything like that. But we put tracks on machines like our medium and large Buffalo and Elephant forwarders that have been turned into firefighting equipment and go right in.”
EquipmentProfile The Machine
The new aluminum water tank, which forms the core of the new firefighting equipment, has sensitive parts that have been anodized to withstand the use of various chemicals mixed with water, as well as seawater. The top of the tank is equipped with large refilling units through which chemicals can also be added quickly and easily. Because it is powered by the machine’s hydraulics and electronics, no external power source is needed. The refilling pump is a centrifugal submersible pump, which fills the water tank from a natural water source in approximately seven minutes. The pump can be moved to any specific place, position, and depth using the machine’s existing crane. The wireless remote control can adjust the water spray direction vertically and horizontally as well as the spray pattern. Battery life is six to eight hours, and the battery can be replaced very quickly. Preston Green, Cut-to-Length Operations Specialist for Miller since 2018, said he was excited about what the new machine is going to do for them. “The company has worked with Ponsse for a number of years now, and this is just one of the latest examples of a product
that has resulted from that collaboration,” he said. “Before, Miller Timber used tanks that we fabricated ourselves. We put them in the forwarders and carried water to the fire. But those tanks have not had the pump and water cannon that this attachment from Ponsse has. In addition, our old tanks that we built ourselves were just standalone units rather than ones that are fully powered from
the base machine. We just had a little volume pump, like a little Briggs & Stratton motor that you can find on a generator pump. Now we’re on a whole different playing field with the Ponsse tank. It’s like going from a garden hose to Niagara Falls.” He adds, “Our [Miller’s] modifications (continue on page 8)

essentially added to the flexibility and the capabilities of the tank. So when we got it, there was the water cannon that shoots water out 160 feet, the pump to push that water, and then a suction pump that’s used to fill the tank. What we did was add a fitting manifold housing and a variety of pipe outlets of different sizes, so we could plumb in a variety of hoses. With the valves, a live reel, and different options for plumbing in lines of all different types and sizes, this resource is more versatile in its ability to work with a variety of other resources.” From tenders to hand crews to engines to aerial equipment, the machine and attachment can work with just about any other resource commonly found on the fireline. The new technology allows Miller to supply water to smaller engines or hand crews. “Lee Miller, the man who started the company and still runs it today, saw the need to add the firefighting part of the business during a particularly bad fire season, and now it has become a permanent way to diversify the business,” said Preston. “The firefighting side of our business is one of the main pillars of our business. The firefighting part is tough work, and depending on the fire season, it can be rough, but rewarding.”
The Demo
During the month of May, Ponsse and Miller Timber took the new firefighting machine to Central Oregon and northern California for on-site demonstrations. Mainly targeting those in decision-making roles when it comes to allocating firefighting resources, the demonstration in Central Oregon was on Forest Service land and the one in the Sierras was on land owned by Sierra Pacific Industries. Fire suppression is a big concern for landowners of all sizes; while they were demonstrating the machine for the U.S. Forest Service, Cal Fire, and ODF agency personnel, they were also showing it to industrial private landowners. “We don’t know what this fire season is going to be like, but we’ll be better prepared with the new firefighting machine than we were before,” said Preston. “It has the power to get that water where it needs to go, but it’s easy to operate for anybody who has already run a forwarder. It fits well with the base machine, and the cameras give the operator increased visibility while still allowing for the full use of the crane. Besides the fact that it is operationally impressive, it is just fun to operate. Granted, I like working with cutting-edge tools and equipment, but who wouldn’t want to try out a giant 250-psi 150’ squirt gun?”

Shane Innes of Innes Wood Products
By Jack Petree
S
hane Innes has been involved
professionally in many aspects of the forest industry since his high school days more than 30 years ago. Today, Shane’s company, Innes Wood Products, plays an important part in providing forest health, resilience, and preservation in some of the most remote areas to be found in east-central Washington. From its headquarters in Keller, Washington (pop. 234), Innes provides tree planting, native plant and shrub planting, tree thinning, pre-commercial thinning, hazardous tree removal, site preparation, wildland firefighting, prescribed burning and Wildland/Urban Interface defensive zones, stocking surveys, and firewood
cutting to a mix of private landowners, federal and state landowners, and to the lands held and managed by the Colville Tribes of the Confederated Reservation. In an age of drought and the invasion of the forest by insect, disease, and weather events, Innes Wood Products’ ability to respond quickly to wildland fire events with a range of firefighting capabilities (including two type 6 firefighting engines and a water tender) is especially important in this remote area.
Learning the Ropes
Shane says he began his professional career, “Back in the late ‘80s when a friend and I would cut fire wood for the local senior program. About then I was also
knot-bumping logs for my cousin’s company, Somday Logging, as well as working with other companies to accomplish their tree thinning or lopping needs.” Shane recalls, “Later, I planted trees for a bit and then found work doing wildland firefighting.” That work led Shane to gain endorsement as a Basic Wildland Fighter and ongoing work fighting small fires. At the time, Shane says work in the forests was easy to come by. “I basically jumped onto any and all opportunities that I came across.” Early on, Shane says, he found that he loved the physical aspect of the jobs he was doing, as well as the variety of tasks that the forest industry has to offer. “Timber felling at that time was my main source of revenue, but I also engaged in high lead, tractor, helicopter

Planting crew at work. people — an hour’s drive to the north.) On the wildfire side, Innes has a National Fire suppression contract with the Pacific Northwest Region 6 U.S. Forest Service allowing the company to fight fire anywhere in the nation. In the main, Shane says, “We offer initial attack on wildland/brush fires, structure protection, home prep, holding the line prep, laying hose, setting up pumps, snag felling, patrolling, and mop-up services. We can go where we’re needed, but we’ve mostly worked in Oregon and Washington.”

logging, or even cutting hazard trees for individuals. Whatever might come along.” Soon Shane was working for himself as Shane Innes Felling and Bucking. In 2005 he changed the name to better reflect the broad variety of skills he had to offer, and Innes Wood Products was born.
Ever Evolving
Increasingly, especially in drought impacted areas of the west, thinning and other forest harvesting efforts are shut down periodically due to the risk of wildfire. To Shane that simply means a change in focus; his company stays busy year-round due to its breadth of abilities. “During the spring months, we engage in planting upwards of 500,000 trees,” he says. Depending on the wildfire season, he continues, “We also plant trees and shrubs in the late fall. Spring months are usually set aside for conducting stocking surveys and the commencement of tree thinning in overstocked areas. June through October usually means we are engaged in wildland fire suppression, then we return to logging, thinning, and other contracts we’ve accumulated until February.” Because Innes Wood Products provides services to so many industry sectors, the company maintains an exceptionally broad range of equipment, especially for a small firm in a remote area. The nearest “large” town is Republic, Washington, with its 1,000
To meet its contractual obligations, Innes Wood Products maintains two Type 6 Brush Engines, a 2007 Dodge 3500 4x4 equipped with Darley pumps, and a 2002 Chevy 3500 4x4, also equipped with Darley pumps. The brush engines are supported by a 1996 Ford Intl Type 2 Tender with front and rear sprayers and a 3,500 gallon capacity. Engines and tender are fully equipped with the necessary hoses and fittings and a variety of trucks including pickups, a ¾ ton, and a one ton truck. Personal tools, including Pulaskis (a hand tool with an ax head and an adze on a single head), shovels, and other hand tools and equipment as well as personal protective equipment (PPE) — fire retardant Nomex shirts, pants,
packs, safety glasses —help provide firefighter safety. Bendix King radios, both handheld and aboard all vehicles available, assure constant communication capabilities. Most recently, the Innes team has been deployed on the 190-thousand-acre Cold Springs Fire near Omak, Washington, (using both Type 6 Engines for fire suppression and protection); the Palmer Fire near Oroville, Washington, (with the Tender providing abatement for helicopters); the Inchelium Complex fire (with both engines and the Tender deployed for suppression, protection of property, and rehabilitation); and the Meacham Complex Fire near Pendleton, Oregon, (providing an engine for suppression, patrolling, and Helicopter Tactical assistance). Outside the fire season, Shane does what he has always done, working a variety of jobs large and small with a crew sized to fit that job. Timber felling is handled by Shane himself, his son, and another “knot bumper,” primarily using Stihl chain saws. Once felled, logs are handled using a Timberjack Skidder and a Barko Loader. Fuel reduction and thinning projects are handled using the company’s reforestation equipment including chainsaws and pruners with a 10 to 15 person crew (depending on the size of the contract). (continued on page 12)
ContractorProfile The company’s ability to work with federal, state, local and tribal entities is vital to its successful operation.
(continued from page 11) Tree planting jobs are handled by crews of fifteen to twenty-five, utilizing planting bags, hoedad planting shovels, augers, and other equipment. Not wasting potential product, Innes also counts firewood as a product with, typically, a two or three-person crew handling the job with both the ¾ ton and one ton trucks engaged in hauling said wood.

According to Shane, the ability to work with an alphabet list of federal, state, local, and tribal entities is vital to the operation of his business. The town of Keller is inside the Colville Reservation with state and federal lands dominating land ownership on land surrounding the reservation. “Our company holds an R6 contract with the U.S. Forest Service allowing us to work nationally,” Shane says. “We also work routinely with many of the different tribal entities around here and on the reservation itself. We have a very good rapport with all the tribal agencies and do everything we can to maintain equally good relationships with the federal and state agencies we deal with, especially during fire season.”
Looking Ahead
Shane sees both challenge and opportunity in the future of the industry he so enjoys. New technologies promise continuing opportunity to improve forest health and resilience at every level, though he points to everincreasing cost as a barrier to be overcome. In the forest itself, Shane says, challenges for the future include the fact that, “Years of drought have removed much-needed moisture to allow our seedlings to survive, and thus we have shorter planting seasons and longer fire seasons.” Shane also sees passing along the knowledge gained to the next generation as a challenge, especially in the context of the lack of a proper work ethic seemingly more prevalent today than it has been in the past. Despite the challenges the forests face, Shane Innes is straightforward about loving the work he does and the forest enhancements he is able to bring about while still making a living. In addition to his professed enjoyment of the physical aspects of the work he says of his efforts, “The most satisfaction comes from fire suppression. Just saving homes, lives, and resources makes that effort especially rewarding. I am also immensely thankful to God the Creator, my family, and the varied entities who have helped me achieve these goals.”

Making Short Work of Fire Cleanup
By Dawn Killough
M
ore than two years after dangerous forest fires swept through northern and central California, Mowbray’s Tree Service, based in San Bernardino, has worked tirelessly to clean up debris and burned trees. They are getting a lot of help from their fleet of eight Sennebogen 718s. Richard Mowbray, along with his father and grandfather before him, built their business providing vegetation and tree maintenance services for California’s largest energy utilities. Mowbray, who manages skilled crews throughout the state, says, “We’re known for vegetation management, right-of-way maintenance, and high-hazard tree removal.” Fire Cleanup Continues
Mowbray’s Tree Service is currently working four fires in northern and central California. They started two years ago on the Camp Fire in Paradise for PG & E. They are also working the North Complex Fire in that same area for PG & E. The Creek Fire site in central California, which they are working for Southern California Edison, is one of the larger sites they are working. “The first initiative when we got there was they wanted to put the dangerous trees on the ground. Some of the debris didn’t get cleaned up right away, so there’s still a lot to do out there,” says Mowbray. For the Sequoia Fire in Camp Nelson in central California, they had to bring in specialized hand crews to drop trees and are looking at the possibility of using helicopters to remove the remaining wood.
The Right Equipment for the Job
Mowbray’s currently has eight Sennebogen 718 tree care handlers in the field working these fires. The 718 is a 21-ton unit equipped with a 43-foot telescoping stick with a grapple saw attachment. Its powerful hydraulics are tuned for delicate tree trimming as well as heavy cutting. It has a 3,700 lb. lifting capacity and can easily grasp, cut, move, and stack whole trees and large limbs in a single movement. To improve safety, the operator can hydraulically elevate to an eye-level of 18 feet and adjust the cab’s tilting mechanism to improve visibility into work zones. With its clear line-of-site, powerful grip, and agile saw head, it is often able to extract trees Mowbray’s Tree Services on the job with a Sennebogen 718. 14

(continued from page 14) adjacent to high-voltage lines without requiring the cables to be de-energized.
Benefits of the 718
Mowbray is passionate about the benefits of using a 718 for the work they are doing, which focuses on tree removal near homes and energized power lines. “One operator can do the work of a full crew,” says Mowbray. “For us to go out and take down 40 trees and get them out for other equipment to clean up, we might have had 10 or 15 employees before. Now we can do the exact same work with one person operating the Sennebogen and a climber working around the power lines.” Their standard crew size for a Sennebogen is one operator and a spotter to look out for hazards. A normal crew is three men, but it
In addition to increased production, Mowbray selected Sennebogen equipment because it makes the work safer for his employees.
would take many more crews to equal the production of one piece of equipment. Mowbray tells the story of a project near a Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) substation, where they were working around a lot of ground obstacles. “The operator was able to go in there like a surgeon and piece out and dismantle nine trees in a day. A competitor was there last year, using the old ways, and it took him four days to bring down two trees. We had the first two trees down in 26 minutes!” In addition to increased production, Mowbray selected Sennebogen equipment because it makes the work safer for his employees. “The driving factor for us was reducing human exposure and providing a safer working environment. Other machines can do the work, but the Sennebogen takes the employee out of the danger zone.” Instead of 30 workers in an area using
traditional methods, a couple of two-man crews can get the same job done with less exposure. An added bonus is the work isn’t as strenuous because the equipment does the heavy lifting. Not only is the equipment fast, requiring fewer workers to do the job, it is also easy to train operators. It can take two to four years to train someone to safely cut down a tree using traditional methods. This results in lost production time while the company waits for the worker to get up to speed. Operator training on the Sennebogen equipment takes two to four weeks. “One guy had experience running an excavator, and he was cutting down trees in about four weeks using the Sennebogen. Some are taking down up to 40 trees a day with minimal training.” Since the training is focused on operating the equipment, not climbing trees, the turnaround time is much shorter. Mowbray considers this a huge return on investment for them.
Looking to the Future
Mowbray’s is looking forward to soon becoming the first company on the West Coast to receive a 728 unit, which is similar to the 718 but with a 65-foot boom. The unit will be quickly put to work next to its brothers. Although Mowbray’s is the first large tree care specialist to be equipped with Sennebogen machines, Richard Mowbray is convinced that they will become a more common sight over the next few years. “We can do trees for a lower cost to the customer,” Mowbray says, “and it’s a safer environment for the operator. It saves lives, time, and money. So that’s a win-win-win for everybody.”

A Summer on Fire By Lindsay Mohlere
I
don’t know about you, but from
my base camp in North Idaho, the usual summer activities have been severely curtailed, or cancelled. A few days of dancing a mayfly across the crystal-clear riffles of the St. Joe River or paddling the banks of Hosmer Lake near Mt. Bachelor are not to be. This year, a summer of fun has turned into the summer of fire. As of August 13, according to National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), there are more than 105 wildfires burning across 14 states, with 87 of them in the West, devouring well over 2.5 million acres of forest and wildland. Only one fire in Colorado is 100 percent contained. Nearly 25,000 wildland firefighters and incident management teams are involved in battling the blazes. At present, we are close to surpassing last year’s total, and we’re not even halfway through fire season. In 2021, a total of 40,090 wildfires have burned more than 3,893,239 acres in the United States. The National Preparedness Level is set at 5 — the highest priority — and the outlook 18
is dismal. Hot, dry temperatures, along with severe drought associated with climate change, have turned the landscape of the West crispy. Our range and forest lands are primed and just waiting for the right spark to torch a huge chunk of the nation’s wildland not already on fire. Oregon’s Bootleg fire tipped in at over 420,000 acres and is finally 100 percent contained with the majority of firefighters on patrol status. The Dixie fire in California has consumed over 678,000 acres. It is California’s second largest wildfire on record and remains the largest wildfire in the nation. At this writing it is estimated to be 36 percent contained. On the 4th of July, California’s Tamarack fire started as a small lightning strike in the Mokelumne Wilderness on a rocky ridgetop with sparse fuels and natural barriers to fire spread. Twelve days later the wind grabbed it and sprinted off down the ridgeline. It’s now nearly 100-percent contained at over 68,000 acres. So much for shining on a dinky lightning hit.

The Curse of COVID
The after-effects of the COVID 19 shutdown and subsequent remedies have created or helped create problems now faced on the fire line. I call it the “19 Curse.” Federal and state unemployment benefits helped the folks drop-kicked into joblessness, and many took other employment and aren’t returning to their lower paid jobs. Lousy minimum wages can’t sustain a decent existence. Big city or little town, the scene is the same. “Help Wanted/Now Hiring” signs are plastered to the front gates, but the effects have been minimal. The real insult is when major fast-food chains are hiring at $14 per hour and Federal wildland firefighters need an act of congress to even get close to that. Right now, crews are thin and short-staffed, some near the point of exhaustion. There’s too much fire and not enough crews to rotate deployments. Plus, they work for crumby wages and zero benefits. When it comes to the big four — the Forest Service, BLM, National Park Service, and BIA — if you follow the money looking for wildland firefighting wages, you don’t have to go very far because there isn’t any.
FireColumn Maybe the gigantic bi-partisan infrastructure bill being batted around the hallowed halls in DC will alleviate the “living wage” dilemma of federal employed wildland firefighters. Paying these men and women a decent wage for the extreme work they do would certainly be the right thing to do. But at this point, one can only hope. (Check out the YouTube piece, Unskilled Labor – A Season with the Hotshots, at https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6CP5SKQjzg).
The Short Supply Nightmare
Many assets needed for firefighting are in short supply and of concern. The NIFC has issued a warning advising wildland firefighters across the West that logistics problems are developing in several areas, including supplying crews with communications, food, and water. There’s a jet fuel shortage that could ground firefighting aircraft or limit sortie numbers. The shortage, coupled with other supply line issues brought on by the COVID 19 pandemic, continues to cause problems at airports around the western U.S. Jet fuel has lost pipeline space to gasoline and diesel over the past year due to the “19.” Because demand for air travel plummeted 96 percent at the onset of the pandemic, fewer flights required far less jet fuel, which resulted in much lower volumes of jet fuel being shipped through the pipelines, approximately 70 percent less than normal in the initial months. U.S. passenger carriers put 3,200 aircrafts — more than half the fleet — in storage. A lack of available pipeline space for jet fuel and a shortage of fuel trucks and drivers amid surging demand for air travel and cargo are contributing to low fuel inventories at some airports. The pinch really stings at smaller air terminals in the western United States, many of which are home base for firefighting air assets.
NIFC spokesperson Jessica Gardetto said the jet fuel shortage could cause delays in wildland fire suppression resources, but that it has not significantly affected suppression operations…yet. “However,” she said, “we’re not panicking, we are planning in case we do run low or run out of jet fuel.” Apparently, there’s also a shortage of large tanker aircraft certified and available to fight fire. Not a surprise. Due to the fed’s insistence on Call When Needed (CWN) contracts, the available air assets are pretty thin. There are only four DC 10 airplanes contracted at this writing. I’m also guessing the demise of Tanker 944 had a lot to do with that practice. Super Tanker 944 was the Boeing 747 capable of dropping nearly 20,000 gallons of retardant or water in one pass or in intervals. The aircraft was used in California and Oregon last year and by all accounts performed at the highest level. But it came at a cost of around $250,000 a day. Because they couldn’t get a sustaining deal, the investors pulled the plug and turned it into a cargo
TimberWest Magazine — July/August 2021 — www.forestnet.com
plane. It’s not a stretch to bet the incident commanders on the Dixie and Bootleg fire could use a couple of Tanker 944 huge retardant/water drops right about now.
And the Bottom Line Is…
In a recent issue of Fire Aviation, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack laid it on the line: “Over the generations and decades, we have tried to do this job (forest management) on the cheap. We need to significantly beef up our capacity. We must have more boots on the ground…And we’ve got to make sure our firefighters are better compensated. We need to do a better job, and more, forest management to reduce the risk of catastrophic fire.” Make it happen, Dude. That’s a wrap. Talk back at twfirecolumn @gmail.com. Stay safe out there.

Young Entrepreneur Clears Path for Future By Rick Stedman
I
siah Thompson has always had the entrepreneurial spirit. A few years ago, while pursuing a degree in Wildland Management at California State University in Chico, he couldn’t wait to begin applying himself. Though just one semester shy of obtaining a degree, Isiah dropped out of school. “I was disillusioned with the curriculum and the educational process, and wanted more, so I quit school and began doing what I wanted,” he says. Starting his own business was one of his priorities. In July 2019, Isiah officially joined the working world, opening Thompson Land Management, a forestry service business based in McArthur, California. He oversees a small, dedicated team of like-minded individuals who happen to fall into the 22-27 age range. “It’s really hard finding young people who are interested in the environment and wilderness, but somehow I met the right people,” explains Isiah. “We are all similar in many ways as far as our devotion to this line of work, and when you have that kind of bonding, it’s easy to get things done. We are
a family-like crew that share similar outlooks on life, which is why we get along so well.” To describe Isiah as a go-getter would be an understatement. He has always had a love of the outdoors, enjoying hunting and fishing. An overall appreciation for nature is in his DNA and choosing his profession came naturally. “Since I was around 14, I’ve always had a good work ethic, while constantly looking to the future, and saving money as well,” he says. When Isiah was trying to decide what direction to go with his life, he began talking with his uncle in New Mexico about possible work. To make a long story short, he agreed to help assist in his uncle’s business, a landscape-scale restoration business. Isiah subsequently formed his own company and agreed to certain terms with his uncle. Isiah’s business focus was working to prevent future wildfires. To that end, Thompson Land Management relies on its LineBacker Brush Cutter, two T726 Tigercats, and Fecon Bull Hog skid steer mulching heads.
New Mexico Challenge
With his enthusiastic team augmented by quality equipment, Isiah and company headed to New Mexico to tackle a
clearing project on 200 acres of land owned by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Though this plot of land was last treated 40 years ago, the desired end product was a lush forest of ponderosa pine. Prior to beginning the project, Isiah observed that the ponderosas were choked out by thick brush, mountain mahogany, oak trees, and juniper. The plan was two-fold: First, clear out the brush, leaving behind a bed of mulched nutrients that would sustain the forest for years. Next, the BLM would burn the leftover debris to ensure that fires wouldn’t reach the canopy or nearby residential areas. The plot of land had its own plans, however. With canyons and ravines sloping from 25 to 45 degrees and hidden rocks partially covered by the brush, the plot posed serious safety risks to Isiah’s crew and equipment. When it came to actually mulching the material, Isiah relied on a Fecon Bull Hog BH120H mulching attachment with FGT rotor design and double carbide teeth. The Bull Hog is built for extreme demands, with heavy-duty or severe-duty body construction that will stand the test of thousands of hours in the field. The variable 2-speed motor allows Isiah to adapt the rotor speed and torque to changing material loads ranging from fledgling mahogany and oak trees up to eight inches in diameter. In lighter material, like brush or fledgling trees, higher RPM means more bites per second, which produces finer, consistent material. With heavier material — those thick oak trees, for example — more rotor torque keeps the rotor turning when other heads might stall out. The FGT rotor design has a smooth drum that draws less horsepower when mixing wood material into the top layer of dirt, while the spiral alignment makes it so that fewer tools are engaging the wood material at any given time.
Cutting Teeth
Isiah does his best to steer clear of rocks and keeps a safe distance from visible ones in the field. When teeth do get damaged by rocks, a simple one-tool process allows him to pop out the old tooth and replace it with a new one. Isiah estimates he can get between 150 to 400 hours of productive time without Left to Right - Jason Searl, Layton McClung, Isiah Thompson, and Cooper Tande. 20

The double carbide teeth work in a wide range of applications and can stand up to thick hardwoods or tangles of brush. Isiah estimates that with other types of teeth, he would have been constantly changing teeth on this project, leading to more downtime than uptime. When it comes time to change a carbide tooth on the Bull Hog, the carbide teeth are easy to replace by using a single Allen head bolt. To keep his tools in working order, he prefers a little bit of downtime every day for maintenance to ensure he doesn’t have a bad chunk of downtime in the field. Every four hours, and also at the end of the day, he will freeze the entire machine to check fuel, air filters, teeth, and drum balance, making any tweaks necessary. Depending on the weather, terrain, and material, Isiah runs the equipment from 6 to 11 hours a day.
Winning Combination
The LineBacker and Bull Hog combination ensures stability and safety, coupled with speed and efficient mulching, which according to Isiah is “the best of both worlds.” This

Working with the combination of the LineBacker and Bull Hog, Isiah and his team left behind a forest that will be safer and more environmentally sustainable for years to come — all in 25 days. This clearing also provided a wildfire buffer for the nearby residential neighborhoods. In addition to forest thinning, Thompson

Land Management takes on wildlife habitat enhancement and riparian restoration. “We have the capability and don’t want to limit ourselves in the variety of quality work we can provide,” says Isiah. “Also, we are not restricted in the agencies we’ll work with, including state, federal, tribal, and private lands on landscape-scale restoration projects,” he adds. Except some interesting upcoming projects for Thompson Land Management.

Sierra Cascade Logging Conference Held Event in May
The Sierra Cascade Logging Conference (SCLC) was excited to hold its annual event this past May. The event was well attended and included great speakers as well as equipment available for viewing. There were also highlights like the Keith Foster Excavator Rodeo and the Strongest Logger Competition. “In spite of having to change dates of the events, cancel some events, and/or offer venues in a different format... the Sierra Cascade Logging Conference was able to move forward with our Annual In-Woods Demonstration, Education Auction, and Logging and Construction Conference,” say SCLC President Delbert Gannon. He adds, “Words cannot express our appreciation to all our volunteers, vendors, supporters, sponsors, donors, and — most of all, committees and committee members — for their tireless effort.” Incoming president Bryan Taylor has already begun plans for the upcoming Sierra Cascade Logging Conference, which will be held February 10-12, 2022, at the Shasta District Fairgrounds.
on December 1, with the deadline for submission April 1 of the following year. Of special note, recipient Justin Helgren was awarded the Carl Welle Memorial Scholarship. Helgren is studying Forest Management at Oregon State University. The Carl Welle Memorial Scholarship fund was established to honor Welle, who graduated from Thurston High School and pursued a career as a paramedic until he bought his first D-4 Cat and found his true passion for logging. He turned his passion into owning his own company, Riverridge Excavating and Logging. It is the hope of Welle’s family that the recipients of this scholarship will pursue forestry, natural resources, or other careers that involve a life spent working in and enjoying the forests. Welle’s family believes this is a way of paying tribute to Carl, while giving a worthy student the boost forward that Carl would have appreciated.

Platinum Equity to Acquire Oregon Tool
Platinum Equity, American Securities, and P2 Capital Partners announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which Platinum Equity will acquire Oregon Tool, a global manufacturer and distributor of aftermarket-driven professional-grade cutting tools, outdoor equipment accessories, and parts. American Securities and P2 Capital have owned the company (previously known as Blount International) since taking it private in 2016. “Oregon Tool has a well-deserved reputation for quality, innovation, and engineering that dates back nearly 75 years,” said
56
Platinum Equity Partner Louis Samson. “We are committed to building on that legacy and working with the management team to invest in a new generation of growth and expansion. We have a lot of experience helping companies like Oregon Tool take the next step, and our financial and operational resources will accelerate their efforts.”
Fecon Adds Vermeer All Roads As Forestry Mulcher Dealer
As part of the controlled rollout of the recent global distribution agreement, Fecon LLC announced the addition of Vermeer All Roads. With 15+ locations throughout the Mid-Atlantic, Ohio Valley, Northeast, and New England, Vermeer All Roads provides a robust line of mulching equipment that incorporates the best of Vermeer and Fecon mulching technology. Vermeer All Roads dealerships will begin stocking Fecon-made forestry mulching tractors and attachments in addition to their full lineup of Vermeer branded forestry equipment, making it simpler for customers to find the equipment best suited to their needs.
Sierra Pacific Industries Acquiring Seneca Sawmill Company
In a continuing trend toward consolidation, Sierra Pacific Industries acquired Seneca Sawmill Company. Seneca Sawmill Company operates three sawmills in Oregon with a combined annual capacity of 650 mmfbm. In addition, the company owns more than 165k acres of Oregon timberlands. While no financial information was provided, precedent transactions in the area suggest that the valuation could be in the $1 billion range. RBC estimates that the Top 5 North American lumber producers (West Fraser, Weyerhaeuser, Canfor, Interfor, and Sierra-Pacific) now account for 38 percent of North American capacity, up from 32 percent pre-pandemic.

Fecon Launches Rebranding with New Website
With a new website, Fecon announced a rebranding effort that stresses the user experience rather than mere machinery, for both experienced land clearing contractors and those new to the business.

AFF Announces Retirement of President and CEO Tom Martin
The American Forest Foundation (AFF), the national conservation organization that works to empower family forest owners to make a meaningful conservation impact, today announced the retirement of President and CEO Tom Martin after 12 years of service, effective December 31, 2021. Under Martin’s leadership, AFF more than quadrupled its conservation work. He inspired a culture of innovation under which he sought to cultivate the many benefits family-owned forests provide and ensure that those benefits were valued at a national scale. His legacy includes a national portfolio of landscape conservation products and programs designed to increase forest owner engagement and overcome the barriers to active forest management, including the acquisition of WoodsCamp, a landowner recruitment and engagement technology, and the evolution of American Tree Farm System’s certification offerings. He also led the organization’s efforts to develop the Family Forest Carbon Program, a new initiative that brings together family forest owners and partners to improve forest health and address climate change. In addition, he was instrumental in building partnerships that continue to be critical in watershed restoration along the Gulf Coast, the sustainability of America’s white oak trees, biodiversity initiatives, and the cross-jurisdictional response to catastrophic wildfires in the West. After a thorough evaluation process, AFF’s board of trustees unanimously selected Rita Hite, who currently serves as AFF’s executive vice president of external relations and policy, to succeed Martin.

Why We Need a New Conservation Ethic By Jack Petree
F
orest landowners, foresters, consultants, policy advocates, en-
vironmental activists, and anyone else with a stake in the future health and resilience of our forests should pay close attention to two new reports from the USDA Forest Service: Invasive Species in Forests and Rangelands of the United States - A Comprehensive Science Synthesis for the United States Forest Sector (2021) and Disturbance and Sustainability in Forests of the Western United States (2021). While not exactly fun reading, the 700plus pages of the two documents represent a foreshadowing of things to come for the forests of the United States generally and for the western United States, specifically. An alternate title for the two books might be, Business As Usual Won’t Cut It Anymore. An important takeaway from the two publications is that we are still in the learning stages regarding what is on the horizon when it comes to our future forests. While the reports raise more questions than they answer, they also raise warning flags for those managing our forests; what might have seemed relevant three decades ago has been superseded by new realities.
Sustainability Is Threatened
What do the two works tell us? Forest sustainability is at risk throughout the United States today. That risk seems especially acute in the West, though no part of the nation is exempt from a perfect storm of events that put pressure on the nation’s forests. The terms “forest health” and “forest sustainability” are important to understanding the documents. Forest health is pretty self-explanatory. Forest sustainability is an entirely different thing. Sustainability deals with the ability of an existing forest to recover to something resembling its initial state following a significant disturbance event — an event that might include fires, a harvest, severe weather, or any one of dozens of other threats. Disturbance and Sustainability in Forests of the Western United States poses the problem bluntly, “. . . because forest disturbance is often a pathway to fundamental ecosystem change. . ., we are confronted with 58
the possibility that large swaths of insectkilled trees or burnt-over forests are a harbinger of radical change in forest structure, composition, and extent at the regional scale, especially if anticipated changes in climate exacerbate the frequency, severity, and extent of these disturbances.”
A Perfect Storm
A perfect storm is defined as being, “A critical or disastrous situation created by a powerful concurrence of factors.” According to the two documents, the “powerful concurrence of factors” afflicting our forests today consists of dramatic increases in the multitude of enemies forests have always been prey to — insects, diseases, invasive species, severe weather incidents, drought, fire, and others. These enemies seem to be attacking in near unison and at levels not seen before, causing in combination far more damage than each might have caused individually. An overstocked forest weakened by severe drought subsequently attacked by a severe insect infestation on top of a newly introduced pathogen can experience extensive tree death — and when struck by lightning, explode into a firestorm of catastrophic proportions. Such a forest might, in previous decades, have survived one or two of the attacks, but the concurrence of events cascading on one another, vastly multiplies the effect of each.
Adjusting to a New Paradigm
How does that devastated forest replace itself ? All too often in today’s world, it cannot. Both of the documents demonstrate that in much of the western U.S., the stand TimberWest Magazine — July/August 2021 — www.forestnet.com
-replacing disturbances we have been seeing in recent times are often the death knell for the forest returning to anything that resembles what it was prior to the catastrophic event. As a result of the extended period of warmer temperatures and the accompanying droughts we are experiencing today, tree species that grew well on the devastated area previously are either difficult to reestablish or cannot be reestablished at all. These tree species are replaced by invasive brush and weeds even with traditional interventions. In addition to heat and drought, consider an additional forest killer. According to the Western Forests document, in addition to the native species already raising havoc in our forests, the United States is now home to more than 50,000 non-native species of plants, pathogens, and insects with at least several thousands of them piling on to attack our forest resources. It should be noted, the Western document points out, “increased biotic disturbance from insects and disease,” not fire, accounts for most forest disturbance in the western U.S.
A New Conservation Ethic Is Needed
Consensus regarding our forest conservation ethic has changed at least five or six times over the past 100 years. A new consensus must be developed to address new situations threatening our future forests. Rising temperatures and drought, coupled with thousands of new insect, pathogenic, and plant-based plagues will change forestry as we know it for decades, perhaps centuries, to come. The conclusion drawn by the two documents? “Many of our ecosystems have reached a point where healthy functions that effectively store carbon and promote sustainable nutrient and water balance are in a more tenuous balance owing to the effects of invasive species. Sustaining ecosystems that store more carbon than they release and that regulate nutrient and water cycles will become more challenging in the future and will require using a creative blend of old and new land management tools. Business as usual is not a sustainable approach to the future.” Jack Petree is a public policy consultant an owner of Tradeworld Communications. TW
