3.make sure the firmness of the tree

Also, we need to check condition of trees, some trees have necrotic tissue inside or even corroded, which will make the structure fragile and affect the result of the dumping. The process of tree dumping sometimes hooks the branches of nearby trees and vines, which must also be removed.

4.make a careful plan

Finally, the direction in which the trees will fall must be planned, base on the size and shape of the terrain, many trees have the direction of the natural fall, so we must calculate and evaluate the condition trees fall down in advance, the most important is staffing and pre-communication, the station of the staff during the operation and the route for the personnel to evacuate when the tree falls, all need to ensure that the escape route is unobstructed before starting the work.
