brush clearing
Cutting wild vegetation
Brush clearing is the removal of dense undergrowth, shrubs, and small trees from land.
The work may be done by hand with machetes and chainsaws, by machine, or by controlled burning.
Property owners clear brush to reduce wildfire risk, prepare land for construction or farming, or improve access: We spent the weekend brush clearing along the fence line.
