goats?
don't you have some?
they will help clear the brambles out.
In Minnesota one spring I wanted to give the brush a chance to fill
out before the goats started stripping it so I restricted their area.
They killed the brush in that restricted area, it was still cleared
two years later. It was a great job of clearing the heavy underbrush
where they usually just kept the green down.
