Forestry Mulching - Why Do It?

The escalation of wildfires in California has made it critical for government agencies and land owners to manage their property. Underbrush provides the fuels that burn into the canopy of trees, and creates fuel ladders. Uncontrollable wild fires happen because flames can race through the canopy, taking advantage of the abundance of this fuel. Thinning trees and brush by mastication is a cost effective way to decrease these horizontal and vertical fire fuels. This will decrease the risk of fire, and create a healthier environment for the existing plants and animals.

Forestry mulching is the process of grinding vegetation into smaller pieces and distributing them back on top of the soil. The powerful machines can quickly take care of a job that might take months if attempted by hand. This complete system eradicates wild fire fuels, and processes them in one step. An environmentally friendly way to reduce the threat of fire, and put nutrients back into the soil.
