Regardless of the size of your land, neglecting it will cause a variety of problems. Some of these include:
- Soil erosion and loss of fertile land
- Disease and mold can damage plants and trees
- Weeds and invasive plants will choke out vegetation you actually want
- Drainage issues can lead to waterlogging and drought conditions
And more.

Forest land comes with different challenges. They will thrive under the right conditions. However, it’s important to clear away diseased trees and invasive species as well as keep it well-maintained to avoid:
- Disease spreading to healthy trees and vegetation
- Pests and invasive species that will deteriorate the health of your forest land
- Wildfires that are hard to contain and can lead to total devastation
All of these issues and more can be prevented with regular inspection and maintenance! Without proper care of your land, your beautiful grove could quickly turn into a graveyard.
