Have a small patch of forest to one side of the garden and I want to start clearing it out. Its a pine forest with a few old elders there and the odd sycamore (mostly young and thin).

Other than getting a mulcher and hurling the lot into it is there anything else to be done with em ? I burnt a lot of similar ones at the start of the year (and threw the good ones into the forest for firing ) while we were doing the garden but as the grass is up and its lookin good I cant drag em out and burn em and dont want to go to much expense but dont want to leave the forest cluttered with these things either.
