Nearby loggers sprint away,
as the lumberjack makes the final cut.
Timber!
as the tree starts to fall...
Listen you can hear the cracking, creaking and snapping
as the tree falls to the ground with its mighty crash.
Birds take flight...
"Lumberjacks hold a permanent place in Canadian folklore and history. While the practice of felling trees has been taking place for thousands of years — beginning with Aboriginal people and continuing with the arrival of the first Europeans — the professional lumberjack was born around the turn of the 18th century. Though the profession has undergone many changes, lumberjacks still play an important role in the Canadian forestry industry."
