Invasive Species MANAGEMENT

Invasive species thrive in our climate, crowding out native plants and reducing diversity. We work with you to identify, remove, repair, and replant native species to provide a healthy ecosystem.

Maintenance Programs

Projects big and small can benefit from continually care and attention. From watering in a heat wave or watching where sand accumulates to moving sand fence, a maintenance program may be right for you.

Post- Storm Recovery

Coastal storms leave vegetative debris, broken posts, and washouts. We work with you to support debris removal, repair or replace fences, and replant to make sure your property bounces back better.

Grant Support

We support grant proposals and implementation through expert consultations, surveys and monitoring of site vegetation, installation, educational partnerships, and reporting. If you are applying for a project or research grant, reach out to staff for information on qualifications, vegetation, or nursery space.
