SLASH PILES : How to safely build and burn

Commercial logging generates woody debris, commonly known as “slash,” in the form of tree tops, limbs and broken pieces. Left in the forest, these provide nutrients for the soil as well as wildlife habitat. However, large quantities of slash can also be a physical barrier to tree planting and pose a fire hazard. Slash pile burning is an art and science of its own, and is the focus of this video.
