timber harvesting
Felling trees commercially
Timber harvesting is the process of cutting and removing trees from a forest for commercial use.
The term encompasses everything from felling to transporting logs to mills.
It's preferred in forestry and industry contexts over *logging*, which can carry negative environmental connotations: The company's timber harvesting operations comply with sustainable forestry standards.
