A commercial forestry mulcher has several benefits versus traditional land clearing methods when it comes to the environment. When you think of large, heavy machinery moving around on the ground you may have visions of deep rutting being left behind by the tracks. That is not the case with a forestry mulcher like those produced by AHWI. The track system that allows the mulcher to move across the ground distributes the weight of the machine evenly giving the machine a lower ground pressure than traditional machines. One of the effects of the low ground pressure is a reduced rutting that aids in soil retention and ground water runoff.

As the mulcher chips away at the growth it produces a nice bed of organic mulch that aids in soil retention and regrowth of native vegetation. There is no need to burn or haul the debris away which would consume more resources and creates a fire danger. The best way to help the land recover after the process is to provide it with a blanket of organic mulch.
