Patterson says precision mapping “allows us to go in and visualize the terrain that we’re getting ourselves into before we even put machines on the ground. By applying this same technology to forestry, operators can better see, plan, and navigate dense terrain. Just as red-tailed hawks view the forests and fields from above, Patterson and Hubbell named their business Red Tail Forestry to “give that kind of bird’s eye before and after view looking down at properties.” For years, precision mapping has been utilized for utilities construction and agriculture planning. They utilized an ASV RT-120F fitted with a Fecon Bull Hog BH85SS forestry mulcher and a Takeuchi TB260 excavator combined with a Fecon FMX36 mulcher to reduce overgrown brush, remove invasive species, and preserve the land for current and future generations. To offer best-in-class forest management and fire prevention to the underserved historic community in the Columbia River Gorge, the team turned to new technology. Having served in the Navy and Marines respectively, Patterson and Hubbell were used to stepping up and doing what is needed. When Kurt Patterson and Andrew Hubbell of Red Tail Forestry Works were contacted by the property owners’ children, they recognized the importance of the job before them. But overgrown brush and dense invasive trees crowded their woods, making once well-worn paths unwalkable, increasing the chance of forest fires, and cutting off younger generations from land their parents and grandparents grew up on. For a couple in the Columbia River Gorge, their 9.75-acre parcel was where they had grown up, raised their family, and created memories over the last 60 years. Land is so much more than simply terrain and topography. RED TAIL FORESTRY Clears the Way A Takeuchi TB260 excavator paired with a Fecon FMX36 mulcher makes short work of overgrown brush.
