Land Revival: How Forestry Mulching Makes Your Property Healthier and More Wildlife-Friendly

If you own wooded or overgrown land in Southeastern Wisconsin or Northern Illinois, managing your property isn’t just about keeping it neat, it’s about supporting the local wildlife that depends on it. Forestry mulching is an environmentally friendly method to restore habitat, protect native plants, and create safer areas for deer, turkey, rabbits, and other animals during the winter months. In this blog post we will explore how forestry mulching makes your property more wildlife-friendly.

Why Forestry Mulching Matters for Wildlife

Winter can be challenging for wildlife in the Midwest. As food sources decrease and cover becomes sparse, animals rely on healthy, well-managed land to survive. Overgrown brush and invasive plants crowd out native vegetation, block sunlight, and reduce the food supply and shelter wildlife depend on.

Forestry mulching removes this unwanted growth while preserving the trees and plants that belong there. This creates open spaces for native plants to grow back, improving food sources and providing safe travel paths for the wildlife that live on your property.

How Forestry Mulching Supports Healthy Habitat

Forestry mulching does more than clear space. The shredded material left behind forms a protective layer over the soil helping retain moisture, reduce erosion, and build nutrient-rich soil. Small mammals, birds, and insects use this layer for shelter and warmth, while deer and turkey benefit from new growth that emerges in spring.

By removing invasive species such as buckthorn and honeysuckle, forestry mulching helps native plants thrive. The result is more abundant food supplies, safer bedding areas, and a stronger environment for wildlife through winter and into spring.
