Organic Vegetation Management

We provide the best in Organic Weed Control, enough said.

Fire Smart & Brush Removal

Utilizing goats and chainsaws to remove hazardous brush, dead-fall and leaf litter. Where goats have been used for firebreaks flames were reduced from 15 feet to 3. Lives and homes have been saved thanks to goats. Perfect for areas like Springbank, Kananaskis, Wiaprous, where perscribed burns can’t be used and prior to timber harvesting or site clearing.

Remote Sensing and Invasive Plant Distribution Mapping

We offer Remote Sensing Images and Maps which highlight and identify plant distribution and coverage. These maps compare weed coverage throughout the season and years and from on and off-site. The imagery maps are useful in reports to demonstrate the reduction of weeds and off-site comparisons for reclamation certificates.

Environmental Sampling and Monitoring

Our trained Field Technicians have all the know how to obtain representative soil, water and plant samples which will deliver the highest quality and accuracy to your projects. We can conduct a Phase II Investigation or oversee a Phase III Remediation collecting representative samples to correlate and confirm the extent or removal of impacts. All samples will be handled with care to avoid cross contamination and disturbances, preserved properly and expedited to the lab in a timely manner.

Environmental Site Assessments & Phase 1

Phase 1 and Environmental Site Assessments are usually the jumping off points to developing a sites long term Management Plan. Our Experienced staff will complete thorough investigations, research and detailed assessments of multiple aspects of your site so you may develop management plans with all the pertinent knowledge.
