Steep slopes and remote access
Hillside woods, hollows, and corners a skid steer cannot reach. The mulcher works the slope and the brush stays on the ground.

Take your property back.
Steep-angle, remote-access, and high-hazard forestry mulching on southern Indiana’s unglaciated hills. Responsible land clearing, invasive removal, and wildland fire fuel work where a conventional machine should not go.
The ground we take
Steep slopes, remote access, and high-hazard work.
Straker Fire & Forestry is the contractor with the equipment for southern Indiana’s unglaciated hills. We provide steep-angle, remote-access, and hazardous-conditions forestry mulching, wildland fire fuel work, and responsible land clearing. Brush is ground in place. What was a thicket becomes mulch on the ground. The work is for residential, commercial, and utility customers.
The Division of Fire performs mechanical fuel conversion for wildland fire preparation and defense: we strategically reduce wildfire fuels on your property to create fuel and fire breaks, defensible space, and access to homes and water-supplies.
High-hazard ground
Creek banks, lake edges, and dam walls. Responsible land clearing and invasive removal where the access itself is the hard part.
Wildland fire preparation
Mechanical fuel conversion turns wildfire fuels into surface mulch. That work creates fuel and fire breaks, defensible space, and access to homes and water supplies.

Unglaciated hills
Built for ridges a flatland machine cannot work.
Brown County and the rest of unglaciated southern Indiana are steep oak-hickory ridges, tight hollows, and ground that has grown shut. We are set up for that terrain: steep angle, remote access, and hazardous conditions.
