Question 5

What does land clearing include?

Accepted Answer

Land clearing is the process of removing trees, shrubs, and other vegetation from a piece of land. This is typically done in order to use the land for a specific purpose, such as farming, building development, or land management.

Question 6

What is the best time of year for land clearing?

Accepted Answer

Fall. Fall provides cooler temperatures and reduced precipitation, creating comfortable working conditions. It's an excellent time to clear land before winter sets in, especially in regions where winter weather can impede outdoor work. Take advantage of fall foliage for biomass recycling or mulching where applicable

Question 7
