Slash cuttings from the harvesting of trees by the timber industry lie on a deforested hillside in New Zealand. The discarded and dried-out logs and tree limbs are considered a fire hazard as well as a visual blight on the natural scenery. Loggers are being urged and even required in some areas of the world to chip the woody debris for mulch or other uses.
