Horse Logging: A Joint Crew Effort

For the past three years, the horse crew and forestry crew have teamed up to pull logs from three different stands on campus; a group selection at Berea, a crown thinning on Daisy Hill, and a crown thinning on Jones Mountain. Horse crew volunteer Jim Price (who's been working at Warren Wilson for over a decade) has shared his expertise in horse logging with members of both crews.

  1. So glad to see Warren Wilson using the horses in the woods with a Jimmy Brown log arch. Please let us know if we may help in any way.
