Natural Areas Restoration Services

We can perform a variety of services to restore remnant natural areas and establish new ones. These services include:

Native Vegetation Establishment: Site preparation and installation with seeds or plugs. We can establish prairie, woodland and wetland vegetation.

Invasive Species Control: Many non-native noxious weeds grow out of control in our natural areas. Garlic mustard, canadian thistle, dames rocket, sweet clover, and purple loosestrife are just a few of the problem species that we can get under control for you.

Brush Clearing: Non-native brush species such as buckthorn, honeysuckle and multiflora rose can devastate our woodlands and prairies. Native brush species can get out of control as well as a result of fire suppression. We can clear this brush from your property in an efficient and ecologically sensitive manner.

Woodlot Management: Although your woodland may look natural, many influences over the years such as fire suppression and logging have thrown these natural communities out of balance. Selective thinning and sustainable timber harvesting may be some of the steps we take to keep your woodland healthy for future generations.

Prescribed Burns: Fire is essential to regulate our native ecosystems. Let us rejuvenate your prairie or woodland with a safe, well planned prescribed fire.

Shoreline Restoration: Restoring your lake or stream shoreline with native plants is a cost-effective way to prevent shoreline erosion, halt and filter polluted run-off and provide habitat for benificial wildlife.

Erosion Control: Native grasses and wildflowers have deep, sturdy root systems that tenaciously hold onto soil. We can stabilize eroded slopes and prevent run-off from your property.

Want to do it yourself? We provide Ecological Consulting services as well. All of these services are available with our Organic Option. Just let us know!
