Common practises for felling and extraction of timber from wooded areas rely on heavy machinery. This causes disturbances to local wildlife and heavy damage to grounds and trails. Lyndwood Co utilises horse logging practises to extract timber with reduced noise, lower carbon emissions, minimal ground damage and less wildlife disturbance.

A main advantage of horse logging is that with a horse extracting the timber, you don't cause any soil compaction on the areas you're working on. Compacted lifeless soil can sometimes take decades to recover if at all. Compacted soil experiences more surface water run off, and trees struggle to spread their roots into it.

Horses are also excellent at accessing hard to reach parts of woodland and navigating narrow gaps that machinery would find impossible to reach.
