CONTROL OF INVASIVE VEGETATION SPECIES FOREST SAVERS® LLC |
Forest Savers' system efficiently cuts and clears invasive plants and brush from the understory of woodlands or clears overgrown pastures and fields.
A former hillside pasture choked with a heavy growth of invasive brush.
The same area restored to pasture.
Uprooting large clumps of invasives prior to shredding them produces
excellent, easy to access planting spots for desired species and
greatly reduces resprouting of the invasives.

Two views of a hillside where the woody invasives were uprooted and herbaceous vegetation was mowed on the left half of the slope. Prior to uprooting and mowing, the vegetation was similar to that on the right. Uprooted woody invasives were pushed to the bottom of the hill with the front rake. The remaining vegetation was simultaneously mowed with the rear-mounted shredder/mulcher/mower. At the same time the machine filled and smoothed in the holes left by the uprooting. Desirable vegetation could be seeded in smooth bare earth where the woody invasives were uprooted. The uprooted woody invasives were windrowed at the bottom of the slope then the windrow was pushed from each end into a compacted brush pile for efficient burning. |
