Logging Equipment Operator

Logging operations are seasonal and are performed during the fall and winter months, when cypress trees can be safely accessed and harvested. During the spring and summer, increased water levels and dense foliage render harvesting areas unsafe or inaccessible. Manage timber. Survey woods/forest, to determine what trees are available. Plant, transplant, and care for cypress tree seedlings and saplings, water, fertilize, weed, and mulch trees to promote healthy growth, prune, trim, and remove damaged or diseased trees as directed. Assist with harvesting, loading, and transporting trees and related materials. Operate and maintain farm equipment. Clean/inspect equipment and perform necessary basic maintenance/repair tasks.
