Heli-logging involves risks: watch the team combat hazards associated with felling and cutting up large trees, navigate in unsteady weather conditions and avoid the impact of 160-mph-wind created by the helicopter to harvest choice trees within a forest.

Working against the clock, this rowdy group of heli-loggers battles perilous terrain, weather and even bears, while maintaining an eco-friendly, environmentally sustainable mission.

Helicopter logging, or heli-logging, is the practice of using helicopters to harvest "select" trees from deep within forests.

There's a lot to know about logging - what's legal, what's not, where it's allowed, what the products are used for... Luckily, Treehugger's got you covered.

Our hit show Heli-Loggers explores the dangers and struggles in a green-logging mission and highlights the way everyday practices can be sustainable. We talked to Mike Ferrucci, a logging operations instructor, to discover more about the different types of logging and why heli-logging is advantageous in the first place.
