Your company should follow applicable environmental regulations when clearing the forest. Firstly, an environmental expert should conduct an assessment of the property prior to clearing any trees to ensure all federal and state requirements are met. It may also be beneficial to obtain a Clean Air Act Permit from the appropriate regulatory authorities prior to starting operations. Additionally, you must ensure there is enough water on site that does not contribute any sediments or pollutants downstream before initiating logging activities and plan your projects in such a way that no rare or endangered species are harmed in the process.
In order to minimize environmental impacts during operations, you can practice forestry Best Management Practices (BMPs). For example: use prescribed burnings for vegetation control and minimization of fire suppression costs; select smaller woody biomass cutting units; design roads per Forest Highway engineering guidelines; stabilize roads through brushing techniques as necessary and maintain proper water crossings so that they limit water contamination into local rivers or streams. Finally, it’s important your personnel have adequate training on environment law compliance rules and understand ways for prevention of illegal resource practices within their responsibilities. Training material should cover topics such as landfill waste segregation protocols, timber marking methods, watershed protection measures (ephemeral gullies avoidance) and how best preserve biological communities associated with habitats located within the industrial area where logging is conducted."

You can seek permission from local environmental protection organizations to start removing the trees, explain your plans and demonstrate that these activities are in accordance with environmental regulations. You can also hire experienced staff to ensure the removal is done responsibly and legally, with due regard for conservation targets and sustainable development. Depending on country regulations, you may need to hire professional tree-cutting crews who will adhere to the necessary restrictions designed to protect plant cover while also safeguarding human health and economic development.
