chop and drop
Legitimate forestry technique for tree felling and processing
A method of felling a tree, where as opposed to cutting in a "birds mouth" then cutting across from the other side, in the traditional way, you cut straight through, then keep the tree verticle, and drop it on the ground, then cut out a new bit about 1.5 meters of the ground, then drop the tree again, until you are left with no tree left, but several 1.5 meter long logs
