About

The Forestry Commission awarded a contract to R.G.

Blakey Forestry Ltd and RWSF for ground preparation through mulching of forest residue across underplanting sites in the East England Forest District, valued at AUD 158,000.

The work supports the expansion of the Commission's underplanting programme from 100ha to 260ha per annum and was split into two lots: Lot 1 required mulching of forest residue and stumps up to 40cm in diameter within felled racks using machinery less than 4.5m wide to produce a fine level mulch with stumps mulched flat to ground level; Lot 2 involved flailing undergrowth within overstorey crop using machinery no wider than 1.8m to clear stumps, overhanging branches, and moderate slopes, producing a clear planting position with all vegetation cleared to ground level.
