timber harvest
Felling trees commercially
Timber harvest is the planned cutting and removal of trees from a forest for commercial use.
The term frames logging as a managed agricultural activity rather than simple extraction: The timber harvest yielded three million board feet.
Forest managers schedule timber harvests to balance economic returns with forest regeneration and ecological health.
