Summary

I have been building and maintaining powerlines for almost 16 years. In that time I have done some tree trimming, brush chipping, clearing of trees and debris. I have worked around the forest industry on and off for 20 years. This includes logging and TSI. For the past 2 years I have been clearing land with my skid steer.
