Common use of Harvesting Clause in Contracts

Harvesting. This process describes the labelling, measuring and recording procedures to be followed by the contract-holders during tree felling. Measuring and tagging logs and stumps is necessary to connect the original tree number (allocated during the stock survey) to the logs resulting from the tree harvest and to the xxxxx left in the forest, thereby establishing traceability. Once the annual harvesting certificate has been issued, the contract-holder is allocated bar-coded log tags and is permitted to commence harvesting at the locations indicated on the block map: (a) before felling the tree, the contract-holder’s log measurer records the tree ID tag number assigned during the stock survey; (b) on felling the tree, the log measurer affixes and records a new tag to the butt end of the log and another to the xxxxx. The resultant tree-length log is measured: the diameters of both the butt and top ends and the length of the log to the crown break (to the nearest 10 cm). The log measurer records the data on a personal digital assistant (PDA) or the appropriate form. Then the log measurer proceeds to the next tree to be felled and repeats the same procedure. The data collected are submitted to and processed by a COC data entry clerk who transfers them into COCIS.
