Vegetation management

No ecosystem too big or too small.


Our team manages various ecosystems native to the Midwest from establishment to long-term growth. We have extensive experience with invasive & noxious weed control, rain garden maintenance, enhancement plantings, buckthorn removal, increasing biodiversity and integrated pest management (IPM).

Red rock Fire

Healing the Earth with fire.

Established in 1996, the Red Rock Fire team utilizes their experience and expertise to provide prescribed burn and wildfire suppression services with precision and safety. Healthy ecosystems need periodic and controlled fires.

Conservation Grazing Program

The MNL Grazing Division manages restored habitats and enhances native ecosystems previously abundant throughout the Midwest. Managing native plant communities utilizing our coordinated grazing events replicates the prairie management conducted by North American ruminants.

Wetland Services

MNL specializes in wetland mitigation and bank work. Areas of expertise include: mowing and spot cutting, prescribed burning, vegetation surveys, mitigation monitoring, maintenance and reporting.

Prairies

Prairies are one of our playgrounds. We have everything it takes to implement selective herbicide applications, mowing and spot cutting of varied size and scope, prescribed burnings and vegetation surveys.

Woodlands

Another important part of MNL, our woodland services are focused around removal of invasive woody species and include: forestry mowing, tree shearing, tree and brush hand cutting, basal bark treatment, stump treatment, foliar spraying, prescribed burning and vegetation surveys.

Process of Land Management Projects
