Some recent projects covering a range of different clearing methods.

This area had an overgrowth of underbrush, 12+ ft tall serviceberry, sage and other vegetation. A brush cutter and forestry mulcher was used to mow and mulch. All byproduct was left for future nutrients.
The grass on the left is natural, native blown in over the course of a year after a small amount of clearing the year before.

Initial work with a brush cutter. The cutter has an enclosed deck to minimize debris expulsion.

All of the bushes were mulched with a forestry mulcher leaving a wood chip or mulch type byproduct.
This is an aerial shot of the rough-cut product with no cleanup. There are varying levels of finished product available.
Completed rough cut area. This area was cut early spring before the native flowers grew for the season. Since we are only mowing or mulching the surface, the native plants continue to grow. Once the dense overgrowth is cut, native grasses and flowers

The wood chips or mulch byproduct will naturally break down and provide nutrients to the soil and boost new growth for years to come.
Dense underbrush, stand dead Aspen trees and deadfall were removed leaving the healthy Aspen trees, native grasses and wildflowers to flourish in the coming seasons.

You can see the difference in the center of the photo between an area that is not cleared, surrounded by areas that have been cleared.

This area just looks like dense underbrush. Once we started clearing, we found decades of deadfall. In addition to clearing the underbrush and removing the deadfall, we also removed a large amount of standing dead Aspens in the area. The rotting wood

The young Aspen trees will thrive in years to come!
The rotting wood was run through a woodchipper for nutrient rich beneficial mulch. The wood that was still good was cut into rounds and used for firewood.
The tree shear gives us a controlled, safe way of felling trees. It also doubles as a grapple allowing us to move large trees quickly.

Approximately 30 families received free firewood from about a half an acre of land. All of that wood could be wildfire fuel or fuel to heat someone's home! Much of the wood we remove is given away for firewood. Another way we can promote healthy low

Ski and sledding runs cleared, all native grasses grew back in within one year. We can cut and clear a variety of types of trails in different conditions.
Ski and sledding runs cleared, all native grasses grew back in within one year. Due to some steep rocky sections of this ski run, there was a combination of mechanized clearing, hand, chainsaw, etc.
Ski and sledding runs cleared, all native grasses grew back in within one year. More runs scheduled to be cleared later in 2026.
