 Joyotee Smith

 February 1995




Abstract. Large areas of land are presently cleared of their natural cover, endangering the worldwide eco-system. Land clearing, if necessary, should be carried out with great care after very careful consideration. Different land types require different clearing techniques. Often, soil needs to be stabilized after clearing. All clearing processes require training of persons involved.
