Wind River Land Management, LLC is a Wyoming-based land management and excavation company. We work with mountain homeowners, ranch owners, rural property managers, and forest landowners across Fremont County and Teton County, Wyoming.
What sets us apart is the experience we bring to every project. Our owner is a former wildland firefighter, meaning every defensible space plan, every fuels reduction project, and every forestry mulching job is informed by hands-on knowledge of how wildfire actually moves through Wyoming timber and sage. We don't just clear brush; we engineer fuel breaks, ladder-fuel removal, and survivable space around the homes and ranches we serve.
We run modern equipment, a skid steer with forestry mulcher, mini excavators, brush mowers, and snow plow attachments, built for steep, rocky, forested, and remote Wyoming terrain. From a single-day brush clearing on a Lander acreage to a 200-foot defensible space buffer around a Dubois cabin, we do the work right and we leave the land better than we found it.
Single-pass clearing of brush, saplings, and small trees with a forestry mulcher. Leaves a clean carpet of mulch that can be kept on-site or removed if wanted.

Learn moreWyoming's mountain and ranch properties face a hard reality: longer fire seasons, beetle-killed timber, drier fuels, and structures often miles from the nearest engine. We don't approach wildfire mitigation as landscaping. We approach it as fire defense, informed by direct wildland firefighting experience.

"Nick and his team did a great job!! Very professional, finished the job under budget and in less time. I highly recommend Wind River if you need some big trees removed."
"Excellent service, job finished in timely manner, land restoration better than expected, final billing came in under estimate, would definitely recommend and plan to use again in future."
"Nick was referred to us to take out quite a few dead/dying trees. We were out of town during most of the project and we communicated through text, phone calls and photos. He did an assessment, gave me a price and then followed through keeping me up to date on the work. When we arrived back in town the job was finished and we were very happy. I will probably need to thin some more in a few years and I'll be calling Nick again."
"Nick is very easy to work with. The communication is great. He lets you know when he will be there and what to expect. He's honest and upfront. Definitely a contractor I'd recommend."
"We hired Nick Navas of Wind River Land Management to thin out trees, limb up ones we are keeping, cut down & pull out the dead ones on our property in Dubois, taking the refuse to the dump. We wanted the work done to help with fire mitigation but also just to improve look of the property. It was a big job as many of the trees were down in the drainage area requiring a lot of manpower to pull them up & out — 3 days of work & Nick & his team did a fantastic job. We weren't in town then & he kept us apprised along the way with photos & videos, calling to see what else we wanted/needed done. We highly recommend Nick & are thrilled he was recommended to us for this work. We'll definitely be using him again for future work."
"Nick at Wind River Land Management completed some mastication work for us and did a great job. He is respectful and listens intently about how you want the job done. He is willing to put the time in to make sure you are satisfied with the end results. We will continue to use Wind River Land Management for future projects as they arise."
