There are many benefits to having unwanted trees and brush thinned with a forestry mulcher versus traditional land-clearing methods. First, the material is ground into a mulch, and spread evenly across the land, helping to rejuvenate the nutrients in the soil, as well as reducing or preventing future erosion. When compared to the traditional bulldozer and burning methods, the advantages become very clear. The damage to land and surrounding trees by equipment and fire is drastically reduced. The ground does not become charred or sterilized, and there is no damage to leave trees from the heat of burning. Forestry mulching is also a one-step process, eliminating the multi-season or years-long burning process.

Fuel reduction is often done to reduce the risk of wildfire or to make it easier to control a fire if it does occur. This can involve activities such as clearing underbrush, removing dead trees and thinning overgrown forests. Big Sky Forestry Services can help landowners prevent wildfires from starting or spreading and protect homes, communities, and wildlife habitats through this process.
