Keep reading to find out more about tree chipping and how it affects the environment.
What is Tree Chipping?
Tree chipping, otherwise known as wood chipping, refers to the process of breaking down segments of trees/wood (usually logs and branches) into smaller pieces, i.e chips. This is done via a chipper. This process, when done correctly, is a fast, safe, and convenient way to recycle wood from removed/fallen trees.
Chipping Trees and the Environment
Tree chipping is a sustainable method of managing removed trees. By breaking down trees into smaller chips, this effectively reduces the amount of waste and debris that would have been disposed of via burning or landfill. As a result, not only do you minimise air pollution due to harmful emissions through burning and landfill, but you can also recycle and reuse the wood chips for other purposes.
As you can see, tree chipping is an eco-friendly solution that offers more than just waste disposal.

So, what can you do with tree chippings?
Tree chippings can be repurposed for a number of different applications, most commonly for:
- Animal bedding – they are absorbent and can be used as livestock and poultry bedding
- Composting – boost your compost pile’s nutrients with wood chips, cultivating nutrient-rich plant growth
- Creation of pathways/trails – they can provide cushioning when walked on, making them a great walking surface for gardens and outdoor spaces
- Mulch – with their moisture retention, weed suppression, and erosion resistant capabilities, wood chip mulch is ideal for nourishing your garden
