This incredible dry spell we have had here in South East Louisiana has made it possible to get into some of the areas that can stay a bit to soft to access normally. Saint Tammany Parish is truly beautiful in every sense of the word with rolling hills and mature timber along with hardwood bottoms. After logging the area at the turn of the last century the indigenous trees have done a great job but are still working at dominating the invasive’s along with unwanted underbrush. As the canopy continues work it’s way upward we can do our part to keep the forest floor healthy and open. Burning has long been an option for forest floor management of underbrush but it has it’s drawbacks due to weather even in areas that do not stay wet. Burning is all about timing and time of year. Forestry Mulching is the other option when a landowner is trying to accomplish the same outcome. Forestry Mulching can be done at any time of the year. Like burning forestry mulching leaves but changes the form of the nutrients on the property. It really is an instant burn if you will. Unlike burning forestry mulching will allow the landowner the results they are looking for the first time. As sometimes with burning, an area may not burn hot enough to get rid of the unwanted underbrush the first time. This means the landowner will have to wait another year or two to attempt the burn again. Longleaf Landworks is a local Saint Tammany Parish forestry mulching and land clearing service with the knowledge and equipment to handle any project of any size.
