Usually plant, but most of time you can get good hardwood pine mix natural regeneration in west gulf coastal plain. May lose a little revenue, but better for wildlife and with the way prices are for hardwoods bringing better$/ton, but slower biological growth. Every site is different, but I’ve managed several Clear cut tracts with natural regeneration and or seed tree cuts.
Christopher Adkins let me give you some advice son. If you wanna do logging, go ahead but it don’t make much and it’s hard work so I suggest that you go get an education in somthing first and log a little while your in college. You don’t wanna end up barely getting by without a backup.
Coincidence cuz I actually live in Georgia as well my dad used to do forestry my grandpa was his boss and we have similar equipment a tiger cat loader a tiger cat wheeled feller buncher and a John Deere skidder and they at least had for logging trucks
Hey D Hill, do you have an email address at which we could contact you regarding this video? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible? (i.e. via email) :) Cheers, Felix
If the land is owned by a paper company, or timber investment firm, or fed gov't (USFS) then they will replant with more pines. That's their business. If the land is privately owned, it's up to the owner to decide if they want to pay the cost to replant their land, or let it reforest naturally.

The large majority of the Southeast (Including GA) is Loblolly pine dominate for commercial use. This species also grows the fastest if you choose a seed carrier that has good genetics (prices will vary based on genetic type). From the looks of this operation, it is pulp based on the size of the trees. Likely to be used for pulp material like paper, or chips. Hope this helps. (info from a forester- being myself)
In this case, it's all pulp wood sized trees, to be used for paper diaper lining and are being taken to the Weyerhaeuser paper mill in Oglethorpe, GA. This paper mill has since been sold to International Paper Co.
Looks like the cutter man was a little nervous. If you properly use the delimbing gate you don't have to waste time with that stupid de limber on the knuckle boom.
