Forestry Mulching

Forestry mulching is the process of brush removal, land, farm and jobsite clearing done by cutting, chopping or grinding vegetation into particles that are usually left on-site to clear the land for the purposes intended by the owners thru the use of forestry mulching machine or masticator.  The primary purpose of forestry mulchers was to lessen the fire fuels and, also, as an alternative to chemical treatment competitive species, for aesthetic treatments, right-of-way maintenance, and range rehabilitation.

Nowadays, forestry mulcher machines are also used for tree thinning, vegetation management, brush removal, brush pile grinding, and land mulching.
