Trees, tree parts and bundles should be stored at roadside landings in stacks that are stacked as high as possible while maintaining stability. High stacking minimizes the surface area exposed to rain (i. e., only the top is exposed) and promotes a more uniform material in terms of bulk density and moisture content. Ground contact should be broken by stacking on a simple rack of logs. Stacking butt-ends facing the landing not only promotes the run-off of rain water away from the landing, but makes for easier crane operation when chipping or transporting. These resources are stable and can be stored for long periods of time. The options from this point are roadside chipping and transport of loose chips, or transport of the material “as is” to conversion sites.
