Bush clearing consists of the cutting and removal of all bushes and shrubs within the clearing width. It is important that the bushes are promptly removed from the cleared area as they will hinder the subsequent activities. Also, thorns might injure workers who sometimes are barefoot. Thorn bushes are difficult to handle for the clearing gang but a long stalk with a twig used as a hook is a most helpful implement
After you have learned this element, you should be able to:
– understand the reasons for clearing;
– recognise the different types of the clearing.
