Our natural world wouldn’t be complete without our native wildlife. Not only are there multiple recreational activities based around wildlife (birding, hunting, wildlife viewing, etc), but wildlife play important roles in our ecosystems. Land-use changes and habitat loss affect wildlife just as much as our native plant communities. Restoring ecosystems and plant communities inherently helps wildlife habitat, but if you want to specifically enhance your land to improve wildlife habitat, we can help with that too.

Whether you’re interested in managing for game or non-game species (or both), we can help design and implement a management plan. In forests, we can provide wildlife openings by removing invasive species, opening up the canopy, and promoting native ground cover. In prairies, we can remove invasive species and restore natural disturbance regimes to promote native species essential for wildlife habitat and foraging. We also have seed mixes that benefit wildlife, such as deer forage mixes. Whatever the habitat type, we will work to improve wildlife corridors and promote native plants that wildlife depend on for forage, cover, and nesting.

Our approach

As always, we approach any wildlife habitat enhancement project with our Light on the Land mindset. This boots-on-the-ground, low-disturbance approach minimizes disturbance to soil and native plant communities. It is also respectful to local wildlife communities already living and moving throughout the site.
