brush cutting, mulching and woodland beautification

in the wildland/urban interface

 

Clearing flamable brush from forests near homes in the urban/wildland interface can act as a firebreak to reduce the risk from forest fires.
Thinning to remove the low quality and overcrowded trees plus cutting and shredding the understory brush creates an attractive, defensible space surrounding a home in the urban/wildland interface.
Two months after brush cutting, shredding and thinning of woodland near a new home.  Newly seeded grass is just sprouting up through the shredded mulch left behind by Forest Savers' machine. 

Brush shredding and woodland thinning has created an attractive approach to this new home.  In regions prone to wildfire, this shredding and thinning creates a defensible space that is less likely to support a forest fire.
Woodland thinning, plus cutting and shredding of the thick understory brush has produced a beautiful approach to this home.
Unthinned forest with an understory of brush and small trees is more prone to wildfire, less attractive and more conducive to insect infestations and tree diseases.

Clearing away the brush and removing the unhealthy, overcrowded trees around this pond greatly improved the recreation potential.
Woodland with thick brush and small trees in the understory has much less recreation potential, is more at risk for wildfire and makes for less attractive surroundings for homes in forest settings.
One year after thinning and shredding in these woods above a pond, a carpet of ferns covers the forest floor.
Before thinning and shredding, the woods above the pond looked like this.

Opposite sides of a driveway.  On the left an abused woodland has had the poorest trees removed and the underbrush has been cut and shredded.  On the opposite side of the driveway, on the right, you can see what the woodland was like before sanitation thinning and brush cutting.
