Summary
Forestry worker who fells and bucks timber (charcoal wood) for charcoal burning in mountain forests and prepares for extraction.
Description
Charcoal wood fellers are specialists who perform felling, bucking, and extraction work in mountain forests to secure timber (charcoal wood) as raw material for charcoal burning. They use chainsaws and axes for thinning and main felling, cutting timber to appropriate lengths and thicknesses. They employ rope work and cable yarding techniques to safely extract logs from slopes and support transportation to charcoal kilns. Work is conducted outdoors in mountain forests, requiring adaptation to terrain and weather, inspection and maintenance of machinery and tools, and safety management.
Future Outlook
While mechanization and efficiency improvements progress due to labor shortages from aging, stable supply of charcoal wood is demanded due to expanding woody biomass needs, and the role is expected to be maintained with changes.
