Breaks down vegetation into small pieces, also known as “mulching the forest”. This process offers benefits such as opening up the canopy and forest floor, allowing remaining trees greater access to nutrients, sunlight, and water.

Materials are hand cut and stacked in order to remove ladder fuels, remove dead and down vegetation, and increase tree canopy spacing.

Using heavy forestry equipment to reduce tree densities, and increase the size and frequency of tree canopy openings. Machine piling on dry or frozen soils reduces soil impacts.

A form of prescribed fire where large piles of debris from fuels reduction projects are are burned.

Materials will be manually cut to match the specifications of a hand thinning operation, then piled along a roadway and chipped to clear it from the area.

Prescribed fire promotes the native plant species, allows for controlled disturbance to stimulate new growth, and acts as a natural firebreak.
