tree felling
Cutting down forests
Tree felling is the act of cutting down a tree, typically with a chainsaw or axe.
The term emphasizes the deliberate, controlled nature of the work—felling implies directing where the tree falls.
The logging company began tree felling operations at dawn.
Professional tree felling requires understanding the tree's lean, weight distribution, and escape routes.
