Summary
A profession responsible for clearing undergrowth and underbrush around seedlings and young trees to maintain the silviculture environment for forest growth.
Description
Undergrowth clearing workers are specialists who mainly promote healthy forest growth by cutting down undergrowth and underbrush growing around seedlings and young trees at forestry sites. They safely perform work using tools such as chainsaws, brush cutters, and handsaws. The work is susceptible to seasonal and weather influences, with much of it on slopes and inclined terrain, requiring physical stamina to endure half-squatting postures and long hours of heavy labor. They also play an important role from the viewpoints of forest conservation and biodiversity preservation, efficiently managing weeding areas based on work plans and handling post-work residual materials.
Future Outlook
Demand for silviculture work remains stable due to the cyclical use of forest resources and growing environmental conservation awareness. While mechanization advances amid an aging population, precise manual work is still required.
