wetland and preserve maintenance

Preserve Wetland Management in Venice, FL

Our natural resources should be protected so they can be enjoyed by many for years to come. We provide preserve wetland management in Venice, FL, and the surrounding areas. With all the exotic and invasive species that have been introduced to Florida's landscape over the years, it doesn't take long before these plants find their way into our natural areas. That is why it's important to conduct routine maintenance of these areas with preserve and wetland maintenance. We provide invasive species control to prevent our preserves and wetlands from being overrun. In a very short period of time, these areas can become overrun with invasive species such as Brazilian Pepper, Melaleuca, Carrotwood, Rosewood, and Primrose willow, to name a few.

These invasive species are harmful to our natural areas as they can quickly form dense mono-cultures that displace and out-compete our native vegetation. As stewards of our land, we are committed to properly removing and controlling these invasive species so they don't return. Once these invasive plants are removed, native plants will again have a chance to thrive. Contact us today for more information about our other services, such as littoral shelf maintenance, fish stocking, and many more.

Inspections, Treatments, & Monitoring
