Chris
Site Operator & COO
General Foreman | Licensed | CDL Certified | 18 Years in the Industry
Chris is the reason every project gets done right. With 18 years of hands-on field experience, he's the one who identified the single-pass forestry mulching process that became the foundation of Aspen's approach — eliminating the old multi-step clear, pile, haul, burn, and repair cycle with a method that's cleaner, faster, and far less disruptive to the soil.
As a licensed General Foreman with a CDL and deep knowledge of heavy equipment and job-site logistics, Chris brings precision and reliability to every project. When you hire Aspen, you're working with someone who takes the land — and the responsibility — seriously.
"Safety isn't a checklist — it's the standard every pass has to meet. I'd rather take the time to do the job right than rush to the next one and leave something behind that shouldn't be there."

Subsoil Mulching for Habitat & Wetland Restoration Preparation
Aspen Land Management LLC is preparing to launch subsoil mulching services in Spring 2027 for landowners, farms, conservation projects, habitat improvement plans, wetland restoration preparation, and eco-focused property clearing across Eastern Minnesota and Western Wisconsin.
Subsoil mulching is designed for projects needing more than surface clearing — without unnecessary ground disturbance. Planned use cases include habitat restoration preparation, wetland restoration planning, conservation-minded land improvement, and eco-focused property clearing. Some landowners may qualify for habitat, wetland, forestry, agricultural, or conservation cost-share programs. Aspen does not guarantee grant eligibility.

We're Planning an Innovative Habitat Restoration Project with USDA & U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Aspen Land Management is in the planning process of partnering with the USDA and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to conduct a cutting-edge land restoration demonstration at our New Richmond, Wisconsin yard — using innovative technology for optimal habitat restoration. We're developing this project now, and we'd love to have you involved before our schedule locks down for next year.
Cutting-edge mechanical vegetation management and habitat assessment tools applied to a real-world restoration site in Western Wisconsin.
Wetland buffers, wildlife corridors, invasive species removal, and native ecosystem support — all part of the planned demonstration scope.
Partnership agreements are in development. Schedules for next season are already filling. Don't wait until 2027 to connect with us.
🔥 Come work with us today before we get locked down for next year. If you have a habitat restoration, conservation clearing, or land stewardship project in mind for 2027 — reach out now to get on our calendar.
Aspen Land Management is in the planning process of partnering with USDA and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for this demonstration. No formal endorsement or signed agreement has been finalized. Formal details will be announced as agreements are confirmed.
