land clearers
Those who deforest
Land clearers are people or machines that remove trees, brush, and vegetation from land, typically to prepare it for agriculture, construction, or development.
The term covers both the workers who do this labor and the heavy equipment—bulldozers, excavators, mulchers—used for the task.
The land clearers moved through the forest at an alarming pace.
