Jo Daviess County: The Loggers' Perspective

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.
