brush burning

Clearing land combustibly

Brush burning is the deliberate burning of cleared vegetation, branches, and woody debris, typically on rural or agricultural land.

It's a common method for disposing of material from land clearing, pruning, or storm cleanup: The county issued permits for brush burning in early spring.

Many jurisdictions regulate when and how brush burning can occur due to fire risk.
