What time of year is it best to fell timber if you want to peel the bark?  So the
bark peels easiest.

Spring and early summer are the best times.

Here in central NB the bark will peel easy for another 3-4 weeks then not again until next June.
Lots of toys for working in the bush

"Bids"  Is this a technical forestry term?  Maybe it should appear in the FF dictionary.

Peeling the bark sort of depends on the species of tree!

Some species will peel earlier than others!

Here, Hemlock is still peeling pretty easy.
