yarding
Dragging timber centrally
Yarding is the logging operation of moving felled trees from where they were cut to a central collection point called a yard or landing.
The work typically involves cables, skidders, or helicopters dragging or lifting logs through the forest: Yarding operations shut down during fire season.
The term also applies to gathering livestock into a yard for handling or sale.
