Choose and prepare sites for new trees, using controlled burning, bulldozers, or herbicides to clear weeds, brush, and logging debris.
Task automation exposure
Very low exposure
Exposure basis
[v4/median] score 10 (raw 10 | A 10 / B 30 / C 5 | modality: physical_primary) AI can aid in site selection, but the physical clearing (burning, bulldozing, herbicide application) is not yet widely automated and still requires human operators. (capable: None - human-led)

Basis
How exposure was assessed
[v4/median] score 10 (raw 10 | A 10 / B 30 / C 5 | modality: physical_primary) AI can aid in site selection, but the physical clearing (burning, bulldozing, herbicide application) is not yet widely automated and still requires human operators. (capable: None - human-led)
How much of this task's output current AI can produce or substantially assist.
Best current model strength on any capability this task requires.
This is an assessment of technical feasibility plus published evidence - not a forecast. Even fully automatable tasks are often not automated, because of cost, verification, liability, regulation or the fact that the task is bundled with other work.
Occupations
Occupations that perform this task (1)
Importance is the O*NET-style weight of this task within each occupation. The same task can be highly exposed but peripheral to one job and core to another.
| Occupation | Industry | Importance | Role | Occupation AI exposure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foresters | Cross-industry | 3.9/5 | core | 5 |
Evidence
