Excerpt from Logging Slash Flammability
Slash is the residue left in the woods after timber has been harvested. It consists of foliage, twigs, branchwood, bark, rotten wood, and cull or otherwise unusable material. Most of this debris once comprised parts of the harvested crop trees, but sizable quantities are sometimes broken from the residual stand in logging. Leav ing slash after the harvest of forest products is as inevitable as leaving the core after eating an apple. An apple core must be picked up because garbage is an eyesore and a public nuisance. Slash also is unsightly, but it requires treatment primarily because it is highly flammable.
