Invasive Species Management
Invasive plant species pose a significant threat to Northeastern ecosystems by displacing native vegetation, reducing biodiversity, and degrading land health. Conventional management methods often rely on herbicides or mechanical removal, which can harm soil biology, non-target species, and require ongoing treatment.Targeted grazing offers an effective, ecologically sound alternative. Using goats and sheep to selectively graze invasive plants reduces chemical use, improves soil and plant health, and allows for vegetation management in sensitive or hard-to-reach areas while creating opportunities for community engagement and education.
Wildfire Fuel Managment
Wildfire fuel management is an increasingly important issue in the Northeastern United States as climate change brings warmer temperatures, longer dry periods, and higher wildfire risk in a region with dense vegetation and nearby homes. Wildfire fuel includes dry grasses, brush, invasive plants, and dense understory growth that allow fires to ignite and spread rapidly.We use goats and sheep to selectively remove this fuel, reducing fire intensity and breaking up continuous vegetation.
General Vegetation Management
General vegetation management refers to maintaining plant growth to meet specific operational and safety standards. This is common across industries such as utility-scale solar, high-voltage transmission lines, and oil and gas pipeline rights-of-way, where vegetation must be kept below defined height thresholds to prevent interference with infrastructure and daily operations.
