After mulching there is a large amount of ground up wood debris, so this method is not recommended if you are hoping to plant yard grass and mow around the trees every time, but it is excellent if you are planning on going with a long natural prairie grass and allowing the forest to return to its natural state. This process is often referred to as Brush Mowing Willmar MN, or Brush Hogging Willmar Mn. It is relatively the same process, but the difference between forestry mulching and brush hogging is how the cutter head processes the material.
