    These pictures I have posted before on another site. This was a fun day in spite of the weather and the
    occasion was a small town Graduation fundraiser and the Kids really pitched in.

    I missed the OP of this, was this a group buy on log length and community splitting?

    The dryland sort belongs to Western Forest Products who also donated the logs. Most of the wood is Alder which is almost considered a weed in this neck of the woods.
    The grads sold pickup loads for $55.00 per pickup load. The money which was used to pay for a lot of their after grad celebrations.

    Western Forest Products provides logs at different times to about five different charity cuts, including The Legion, Figure Skating Club, Hockey Teams, and the Baptist Church.

    This is the Baptist Church wood cut. They provide the firewood free of charge to the elderly and those who no longer can get their own firewood.

    Port McNeill, BC - a small town of about 2,000 on Northern Vancouver Island. If you go to Goggle Earth, the 2 log sorts are just to the left of town.
