We specialize in commercial and private fuels reduction, wood recycling, and slash removal services.  We work with groups such as the U.S. Forest Service, Montana DNRC, Northwest RC&D, Fuels for Schools programs, regional mills, state and local agencies, landfills, private landowners, etc. in promoting healthy forests, a cleaner environment, reducing global warming, and creating alternative fuels – all of which are major concerns in our world today. 

Using specialized equipment we are able to remove hazardous fuels from our forests and rangelands such as logging slash/waste or small-diameter trees, known as woody biomass, and utilize it as a value-added economic and environmentally friendly commodity. 

Significant volumes of woody biomass are removed annually by private, state and federal land managers in the process of thinning forests to prevent wildfire and removing diseased trees and invasive species to improve forest and rangeland health.  Woody biomass is also the product of natural disasters, such as hurricanes and tornados, as well as urban cleanup activities, including power line clearing and residential brush and tree removal.  Most of this material is left to decay, burned in place, or hauled to landfills.

Woody biomass is beneficial source of natural, clean, renewable, sustainable, and readily available energy that is suitable for heat and power generation in public and private facilities.  It can also be used to produce small wood products or other useful products such as mulch or erosion control products.  Using woody biomass, instead of wasting or burning it, has numerous social, economic, and environmental benefits.  It can improve air quality by reducing slash pile burning, lower land management costs, improve forest health and resilience, economically assist in protecting communities and watersheds from wildfire, provide low cost, locally sourced heating fuel, reduce fossil fuel consumption, and create rural jobs. 

Since moving into the biomass industry in 2006, John Jump Trucking, Inc. has recycled over 200,000 tons of biomass that has been utilized for energy, mulch, erosion control products, and more!
