On June 22nd from 8:30am until 11:30, Keith Griebel and Brian Steines of Steines and Griebel Logging will be delivering a presentation on the felling and skidding of trees from your timber from the loggers' perspective. Steines and Griebel represent over fifty years experience in the logging industry.  This is a unique opportunity to meet and discuss with loggers what to anticipate during the harvesting of your trees. 

They will cover such subjects as:

  • Tree selection and quality.
  • Harvest contracts and the bidding process.
  • Minimizing damage to trees during the harvest.
  • Proper trail selection.
  • Crossing waterways with equipment.
This presentation will be held at Larry and Sally Priske's tree farm near Galena.  The Priske's established their initial tree plan in 1984 and are long-time members of the Illinois Forestry Association.

Please register for this event so that we can anticipate attendance and inform you of any last minute changes to the schedule.

Directions: Take U.S. 20 to Main Street Galena.  Continue to Broadway then Dewey Ave to Council Hill.  Priske's tree farm is located two miles North of the U.S. 20 and Main Street intersection at 4700 North Council Hill Road.
