WVM, based in Carbondale, Colorado, specializes in forestry, wildfire mitigation, and land improvement services. Founded by Mike Uncapher in 2006, following over a decade-long career with the USFS in wildland firefighting, fuels management, and crew supervision, WVM brings a wealth of expertise to its projects. Before joining the USFS, Mike honed his skills as a landscape architect. Leading a team of experienced operators, WVM undertakes projects for various government agencies at federal, state, county, and local levels, as well as for HOAs and private properties. Mike's dedication lies in collaborating closely with fire departments, land managers, HOA boards, and private individuals on wildfire mitigation and forest health initiatives. With Mike overseeing all work directly, from initial consultations to the final walkthrough, clients can expect personalized attention and meticulous project management.
At WVM, we've made significant investments in top-tier equipment tailored for effective wildfire mitigation and habitat enhancement projects across Colorado's rugged landscapes. Equipped with three varieties of tracked mastication tractors, a log skidder and chipper, we're adept at maneuvering through challenging terrains with minimal ground compaction or disturbance. Operating year-round in Colorado, our track record boasts exceptional safety standards and a proven track record of successful collaborations with land managers and owners.
From initial planning and design to the final walkthrough, WVM offers comprehensive support throughout the entire process. Our main goal is implementation, backed by the provision of essential equipment and skilled manpower. We ensure that your requirements for defensible space, egress, forest health, ecological preservation, and aesthetic appeal are met. Our range of treatments includes mastication, brush clearing, selective tree removal, and chipping. Whether it's rejuvenating dead or diseased stands or providing ongoing maintenance, our prompt involvement ensures the timely achievement of your property objectives.
Our main objective is fuel reduction while enhancing forest health, which we achieve through a range of mechanical treatments tailored to meet the needs of the property owners. This includes activities such as creating and expanding defensible space, establishing fuel breaks, addressing ladder fuels, and developing maintenance plans.
Given our diverse geographical location, we have experience working with a broad range of vegetation and terrains. Our primary focus is on woody plants, such as Pinion, Junipers, Oak Brush, Service Berry, Aspen, Douglas Fir, and Sage. Additionally, we have expertise in riparian vegetation management. We also address issues related to insect infestation and drought-induced decline and evasive species.
Certainly, a significant portion of WVM's treatments are conducted within HOAs, focusing on establishing safe zones, facilitating egress, enhancing forest health, and creating defensible space within these communities.
