What is Forestry Mulching?
Forestry mulching is a land clearing method that uses a single machine to cut, grind, and clear vegetation. A forestry mulching machine, also referred to as a forestry mulcher, forest masticator, or brushcutter, uses a rotary drum equipped with steel chipper tools or blades to shred vegetation.
Forestry mulching converts the leftover vegetation in an area like brush, trees, short grassy foliage and heavy branches into a natural, environmentally friendly top-layer of ground covering. Commonly known as mulching, the process eliminates the need for multiple machines such as bulldozers excavators, tree shears, wood chippers, grinders, and hauling equipment.

THE
ENVIRONMENTAL
CHOICE:
Instead, with mulching, a single machine is used to cut, grind, and clear vegetative growth and saplings, leaving behind a shredded blanket of mulch. This protective layer of organic material is left to break down and be reintroduced into the soil, making to richer and more fertile.
The biodegradable top-layer (mulch) becomes a natural protective barrier over the soil that stabilizes the ground, prevents erosion, and encourages native plant growth.
