Mastication

We are often asked, What do you do in the forest?  To which we respond, we are forest health improvement specialists. We utilize mastication techniques in the forest to improve forest health, reduce wildfire and provide healthy habitats for wildlife.  After a puzzled look, the next question we get is what is mastication?  Well, Webster’s defines it as to chew or grind food.  So think of it in terms of forestry and we “chew” or “grind” woody vegetation with machinery.
