Pasture Reclamation in Winston-Salem, NC
Bring your overgrown pastures back into production
What Is Pasture Reclamation?
Pasture reclamation targets farmland that has been partially or fully taken over by woody vegetation — eastern red cedar, privet, multiflora rose, persimmon, and other invaders that steal grazing acreage. Forestry mulching is the preferred method because it leaves the soil intact and deposits a mulch layer that actually improves the pasture base.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How quickly will grass grow back after mulching?
- In ideal conditions (spring or fall, adequate moisture), grass seed germinates in 2–4 weeks and provides usable cover in 60–90 days. Adding lime and fertilizer significantly improves results.
- Will cedar come back?
- Individual cedars mulched below the root crown will not regrow. However, seedbank in the soil means ongoing seedling control is needed — typically annual mowing or targeted spot spraying.
- Is pasture reclamation eligible for USDA cost-share programs?
- Yes. NRCS EQIP programs often cover 50–75% of reclamation costs for qualifying livestock operations. Contact your local FSA/NRCS office before scheduling work.
- Can the mulch be harmful to livestock?
- No. The mulch layer is safe for cattle and horses to graze through. Once grass establishes, the mulch naturally incorporates into the soil.
