FORESTRY MULCHING

BENEFITS OF FORESTRY MULCHING

COST EFFECTIVE

A mulcher attachment allows you to effectively turn the brush and other vegetation into mulch on the spot. Utilizing a CTL, Skid Steer, combined with a mulcher, is more cost-effective than bringing in multiple machines, such as bulldozers, tractors and loaders.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Mulch is made from portions of the earth. When you leave these materials in mulched form, you produce less waste while providing a protective layer to the ground. This protective layer made from natural materials can help prevent erosion and foster native plant growth.

INSECT MANAGEMENT

Pesky, dangerous and invasive insects often live within overgrowth and tall grasses. When you mulch, you get rid of the area where this type of insect lives and breeds. An example of a potentially harmful species is a tick. Mulching can help reduce and control the population of creatures like ticks and those that pose risks to humans and wildlife.

SIMPLIFIED LAND MANAGEMENT

No matter what type of land you are working on, you will need to manage its growth. Unwanted plants can spring up, including weeds. However, a layer of mulch can prevent weeds from growing. Additionally, mulch can aid in the fertilization of the soil. Proper land management is also vital to reduce the risk of wildfires.

IMPROVES SOIL QUALITY

When finely chipped and ground mulch can be left behind to decompose naturally, it creates great food for the soil that improves its overall quality and integrity, reduces erosion, and better supports mature trees.

LESS DESTRUCTIVE TO LANDSCAPE

Forestry Mulching doesn't involve ripping or pulling anything out of the ground; instead, it grinds and chips things down to ground level, leaving behind a bed of natural mulch. Utilizing the Selective Mulching method makes it much easier to leave specific vegetation, like mature trees, behind while removing underbrush, smaller trees, and other unwanted vegetation.

WILDFIRE PREVENTION

Proactive mulching can help prevent wildfires by reducing the amount of leafy plants, dry brush, and other fuel sources on the forest floor. If left untreated, these fuel sources have a higher chance to catch fire and spread to the forest canopy
