HABITAT IMPROVEMENT

Invasive Species Control
We diagnose and treat invasive plants and animals that undermine native communities. Using a targeted mix of mechanical removal, selective herbicide application, and biological controls where appropriate, we restore native plant dominance and protect forage and cover for game species. Projects are laid out to limit soil disturbance and encourage native recovery.

Native Pollinator Habitat Establishment
Pollinators are the quiet engine of healthy ecosystems. We design and plant native wildflower and grass mixes to support bees, butterflies and beneficial insects — improving biodiversity, aesthetics, and the quality of food plants relied on by deer, turkeys and small game.

Timber Stand Improvement (TSI)
Selective thinning, pruning and removal of undesirable understory and competing vegetation helps your timber grow healthier while creating better browse and cover for wildlife. Our TSI treatments increase mast production, light penetration and plant diversity to benefit deer, turkeys and woodland game species.

Food Plot Planting & Maintenance
From site selection and soil testing to planting, liming and season-long care, we create productive food plots tailored to your objectives. We match species and mixes to your soils and goals so plots feed wildlife reliably through the seasons.

Bedding Area Creation
Well-managed bedding areas keep deer on your property. We create secure resting cover through hinge-cutting, brush piling and native grass establishment, giving deer the concealment and thermal protection they need near feeding areas.

Forest Management Plans
A practical forest plan ties short-term work to long-term goals. We’ll prepare an explicit plan — outlining timber harvest recommendations, wildlife objectives, timelines and monitoring — to maximize ecological health and recreational value over decades.

Wetland Installation & Restoration
Wetlands support amphibians, waterfowl and a host of other species while improving water quality and flood resilience. We perform site assessment, design and construction to create functioning wetlands that expand your property’s habitat diversity.

Edge Feathering & Travel Corridors
We soften abrupt transitions between forest and field to create productive edge habitat. Edge feathering provides cover, travel lanes and transitional forage used by quail, rabbits, deer and other game species.

Soil Testing & Amendments
Healthy plants start with healthy soil. Our soil testing identifies pH and nutrient needs, and we recommend and apply lime, fertilizer and organic amendments to optimize forage quality and long-term plant vigor.

Wildlife Openings
Meadows and clearings are critical for grazing and brood-rearing. We plan and build openings sized and located to maximize foraging while maintaining connectivity and escape cover.
