Squirrels mainly travel between the tree crowns. Wherever trees are too far apart, as is the case around roads, they venture onto the ground. As six roads cross through the Gijsbrecht van Aemstelpark, squirrels would end up as road kill victims. To put an end to this situation, six squirrel bridges were created in 2012. In places where several squirrels had been run over, rope bridges were created to give squirrels safe passage between the tree crowns on either side of the lane. 2, record 1, English, - squirrel%20bridge

A bucking ladder... is of assistance when small stems are bucked at a landing. This ladder consists of a set of cross skids on which the tree lengths can be rolled. When you are cutting standard lengths, such as 4-or 5-foot bolts for pulpwood, you can place the skids exactly these distances apart.... The bucking ladder also eliminates the chance of sawing into the ground, and permits cutting conveniently at waist height. 3, record 2, English, - bucking%20ladder
