Comprehensive Invasive Species Management Services

PLM delivers science-based invasive species management for land impacted by aggressive, non-native plants. Our team conducts on-site evaluations to identify invasive species, assess their distribution, and determine how they are affecting surrounding vegetation and land use. From there, we develop a targeted invasive plant management strategy designed specifically for your site.

Our invasive species control services focus on controlling existing infestations while reducing the risk of reinvasion. Using an integrated vegetation management approach, PLM applies proven methods such as mechanical removal, selective herbicide treatments, and follow-up monitoring to ensure effective, responsible invasive plant control. These services are commonly used for natural areas, rights-of-way, commercial properties, municipal land, and managed open spaces.

Our Invasive Species Management Process

1. Site Evaluation

We visit your property to identify invasive plant species, document their extent, and understand site conditions and management objectives.

2. Infestation & Spread Analysis

Our specialists evaluate how invasive species are spreading across the land and identify sensitive or high-priority areas requiring protection.

3. Invasive Species Management Planning

Using field data and ecological best practices, we create a site-specific invasive species management plan that outlines control methods and timing.

4. Targeted Invasive Plant Control

PLM implements invasive plant control treatments using appropriate mechanical and chemical techniques to address the infestation while minimizing impacts to desirable vegetation.

5. Monitoring & Adaptive Management

We track treatment results over time and adjust management strategies as needed to support long-term invasive species control and land health.
