The most effective way to clear large areas of forestland is with a forestry mulcher. This piece of equipment attaches to a tractor and quickly gums up trees and brush, clearing the land in a much quicker and more efficient manner than manual methods. Mulching is also more effective than burning as it does not produce any air pollutants. The mulched material can then be used as soil amendment, allowing for faster growth of new plants in the area, or sold off as biomass fuel.  However, care must be taken when operating these machines near rivers or streams, as significant erosion damage can occur if done incorrectly.

The most effective way to clear this land is to use a bulldozer or other heavy equipment to flatten the land, remove any trees or other vegetation, and grub all stumps and roots. The land should then be thoroughlychecked for any hazardous materials such as asbestos or unexploded ordnance. After that the land can be shaped and prepared for further development as needed.
