Hire someone to do it. But, in your case, I would single out the healthiest trees to leave stand and then cut. Space the leave trees out to about 50 to 60 feet apart. So if you draw a square, you’d have a tree on each corner about 60 feet apart. Thats called a seed tree cut and works well with spruce, fir and some pines. The leave trees will most likely get blown down-thats not the point. The point is to hope they stay up long enough to drop their seeds to create a healthier forest in the future. Those that are now healthy might be more resistant.

The Aspen should be clearcut. Oh you can leave those under 4 inches in Diameter alright, but cut the rest.

Problem is...I understand there isnt much of a market out there. So as to that point..its kind of futile.
