Private Lands Management

As part of NRP’s Ecological Restoration Division based out of the Twin Cities, we help homeowners, landowners, and businesses create sustainable, healthy landscapes and habitats through our Light on the Land approach. By promoting natural habitat and encouraging native plants, our restoration process seeks to recover soil health, improve biodiversity, and rebuild healthy, resilient ecosystems. From ecological restoration to native landscaping to habitat enhancement, we offer all NRP services for private individuals, families, and businesses.

We will work with you and for you to design and implement a management plan that accomplishes your project goals. From large acreages to small backyards, we embrace the challenge of habitat restoration in all types of sites. Our experienced technicians are skilled at safe and eco-friendly restoration strategies. Whether you have a project in mind already, or simply want help incorporating native habitat on your property, we will happily discuss goals and opportunities for your land. We are here to serve the land, and serve you.

Are you a DYI’er (do-it-yourself)? —we can help with design, consultation, and materials sourcing to get you started on your project.

Would you rather sit back, relax, and have our expert technicians do the work? —we will happily cover all the material and labor requirements for design, install, implementation, and maintenance.

Residential Habitat Restoration

Due to increased development of urban areas, many native habitats are becoming divided in a process called fragmentation that threatens native species and ecosystem health. Native micro-habitats can help decrease fragmentation and create more synchronous habitat for our native plants and animals. As a private landowner, you can help cultivate these micro-habitats by promoting native habitat on your property. From pollinator gardens to pocket habitats to invasive species removal, and everything in between--we can help you decide the best option for your property to promote native habitat, and create enjoyable, sustainable outdoor spaces.

Private Acreage Restoration

Land is important. It stores our histories, culture, and precious natural resources. NRP recognizes the value of your land, and will work with you to maintain and restore the native habitat and natural resources unique to your land. From forestry mowing to prescribed fire to invasive species removal, and everything in between--we can help you design the best plan for maintaining and restoring the natural beauty and value of your land.

Business, and Non-Profit Lands Restoration

As a business or organization, you can help create sustainable outdoor spaces, and improve natural resources by promoting and restoring native habitat on your company property. Private reserves of native habitat are valuable for conserving nature, and can provide excellent, healthy outdoor spaces for the enjoyment of your employees and clients. From pollinator meadows to rain gardens to invasive species removal, and everything in between--we can help you decide the best option for your property to create enjoyable and sustainable outdoor spaces.
