Lumbercamp

A log cabin with horizontal-beam walls, a green-roof pitched to shed rain, a stone chimney puffing smoke when the crew is on shift. Stacked logs to one side, a chopping stump to the other with a steel axe planted upright in the wood. The whole camp smells of sap and hot tea.

Lore

A Lumbercamp is a relationship more than a building. The crew that runs it learns the forest’s temperament — which trees fall clean, which split along the grain, which have wasp nests you only find the hard way. Crews rotate camps every few seasons to keep the forest healthy, but the best foresters are the ones who stay put for a decade.
