We are knowledgeable in management of invasive insects like HWA, Winter Moth, EAB, and diseases such as Anthracnose, Cedar Apple Rust or Peach Leaf Curl. Feel free to reach out to discuss how we can help you.
Invasive Plant Management
Maine's woods and landscapes are increasingly invaded by various exotic woody plants. Our staff are able to identify these invasive plants and use cultural and chemical control methods to manage them. Chemical services involve cut stump treatment, basal bark or foliar application of a labeled herbicide from a back pack sprayer. Our cultural controls range from hand cutting and removing plants to forestry mulching or root system excavation. We offer remediation in the form of forest replanting to encourage Native plant species.
Trail Development and Forestry
Mulching
We help develop and maintain trails to help owners gain access either on foot or by UTV, ATV, or other motorized access. We develop new trails or help improve existing trails. For interested owners, digital mapping and trail layout services are available to help with exploring and enjoying Nature throughout the 'back fourty'.
