Private and publicly owned lands often require ongoing forest and land management to ensure the productivity and safety of the tract. Managing growth and vegetation ensures a robust natural ecosystem and also helps to mitigate the risk of wildfires by reducing the amount of dead brush present. This brush is used as fuel in forest fires and is commonly exacerbated in dry seasons and when high winds are present. This should be managed on an annual basis (or more frequently as needed) to help forecast costs and ensure your land is under good stewardship.
