A rugged description of men hunting mahogany trees deep in forests, noting the trees’ size and distribution. Hunters traverse tangled paths, seek hidden stashes, and cut timber with tools and methods described as they evade trackers and police.

Two market gardeners discuss a tree height method using a stick and circle to measure shadow and diameter.
