silviculture treatments
Following the creation of a forestry development plan for your land, we can do most of the work for you.
Land preparation
The preparation of the land consists of making it accessible for committal, development and maintenance of plantations. This activity is done when natural regeneration is insufficient to ensure the venue of a future forestry population.
There are many different types of land preparation: clearance and swath placement, shredding and forest harrowing, AFAS's most recommended activity.
This treatment efficiently eliminates undesired undergrowth while destroying their roots, allowing for a slower re growth as well as a better development in first year plantations. With less new growth after harrowing, plantation maintenance is easier executed and usually requires only one maintenance check.
