Forestry Mulching: What Is The Purpose?

Forestry mulching is a method of clearing land that uses a single machine with a rotary drum (mulching head) equipped with steel chipper teeth to cut, grind, and shred vegetation. The process leaves behind a fine layer of mulch that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. It is the ideal way to clear trees and brush that are too large for a tractor and brush hog. 

Why Forestry Mulching?

Forestry mulching allows you to clearly identify property lines or survey lines. It also helps with fire management of your property, reducing the potential chances for spreading wildfire. Most importantly, it can open your land up to many new uses for your family to enjoy or to make your land more profitable.

Cutting by hand and hauling out the waste is extremely inefficient compared to other methods and often not even feasible for a large area. Utilizing a bulldozer, loader, and hauler is at the other end of the spectrum – highly efficient in terms of time, but with the highest cost not only for equipment but for the labor of multiple operators. 

Forestry mulching in Missouri is a more cost-effective option than bulldozing which adds the additional expense of filling holes, leveling the ground, burning brush piles, or paying to have the waste hauled away. The areas mulched can be immediately re-seeded or planted.

Mulching is also the best choice for environmentally friendly land clearing. Using a single machine reduces fuel usage and emissions and limits disturbance to soil and desirable vegetation. The mulch is better for the immediate environment because the biomass provides erosion protection that helps retain moisture and put nutrients back into the soil.
