Chipping away at it... This seems to be the theme these days as the trees come down.  When the trees are felled, the branches are taken off and put through a chipper before the tree is cut into log-length pieces.  We are able to keep some of the log-length pieces to use for projects at a later date. The logs that we don't keep, the stumps, and the wood chips are hauled offsite to a compost-recycling farm where they will be turned into mulch.  We are working to reuse and recycle from the very beginning of this project.
