FORESTRY MULCHER vs. BULLDOZER for HABITAT Restoration - MASSIVE Invasive Brush Control PROJECT

Join the team as they take on an old field that has been swallowed by non-native, invasive Bush Honeysuckle (and other invasives). The video walks through the pros and cons of each machine and how we have been adjusting our strategies for controlling heavy invasive brush to fully restore healthy eco-systems. Follow along for another information-packed video!

Very well done video. Thanks

[@fredericklockard3854]

Cannot wait to keep getting this done on our property

[@RegenerationRex]

Great Video!

[@native_landscapes]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@CentralMississippiWhitetail]

Awesome. great job!! If I had to pick one machine it would be a dozer..for many reasons

[@native_landscapes]

A dozer is a fantastic tool. Nice rig in the pic (assuming that’s yours)

[@garretts1604]

Great job guys. What is the approximate remaining cost to the landowner (per acre, in ohio) after that grant/program funding? While this shouldn’t be about cost, one has to afford it. Thanks

[@native_landscapes]

Thanks! Grants are tricky to get accepted into and it can take a couple years, but it can cover 40%-60% of the project. Cost totally varies by the property, location and project scope. Drop us an inquiry on the website and I can provide more cost info.

Cost share is $600-$800 / ac for Brush mgt heavy equipment payment scenario. Follow up treatments are much less cost share tho

[@justinfabian2418]

Great project. The one species you are removing looks more like Japanese Honeysuckle
(Lonicera japonica). Bush honeysuckle (Diervilla lonicera) is a native species and has a maximum height of 3 feet

[@native_landscapes]

we were treating lonicera maackii, and Lonicera japonica. Heavy Maackii, many pushing 15-20+ feet.
