Wildfire Prevention: Forest Mulching 

How Forestry Mulching Prevents Wildfire

​​

  • Creates Firebreaks & Defensible Space
     

    • Clears vegetation around properties and forests.
       

    • Helps slow or stop fires from spreading.
       

    • Vital in wildland-urban interface zones.
       

  • Reduces Vegetation Density
     

    • Clears overgrown brush and dead plants.
       

    • Lowers fuel for fires and improves forest health.
       

    • Promotes healthier, more fire-resistant trees.

  • Improves Soil Health & Moisture Retention
     

    • Mulch retains moisture, reducing dry conditions.
       

    • Cooler soil temps and improved plant resilience.
       

    • Encourages fire-resistant vegetation growth.
       

  • Prevents Crown Fires
     

    • Thin trees and underbrush to limit vertical fire spread.
       

    • Makes it harder for fires to reach tree canopies.

​

  • Encourages Fire-Resistant Plant Growth
     

    • Removes flammable, dead vegetation.
       

    • Promotes the growth of high-moisture, fire-resistant species.
       

    • Supports a balanced, fire-resilient ecosystem.​
