Prescribed burning
Prescribed burning is an essential tool when managing native landscapes. The burn will reduce biomass and lead to more robust growth in the ensuing growing season
Spot mowing
Spot mowing helps to control pockets of undesirable vegetation within the developing landscape
Integrated plant management
IPM is a suite of techniques utilized to control weeds and promote growth of native species in restored landscapes
Site mowing
Mowing is implemented to prevent annual weeds from going to seed and shading the emerging native seedlings in young restoration projects
