Lumber companies had to come up with methods to neutralize the effects of the seasons in order for industrial lumber production to succeed. Tree cutting typically took place during the winter, as logs could be easily dragged on sleds across snow and ice to the banks of rivers. As soon as the rivers and lakes had thawed, workers would load the logs onto rafts and transport them to mills, where they would be chopped into lumber during the summer.
