Invasive Plant Control

A healthy forest ecosystem will function in a balance shaped by evolution over time.  A forest functioning as it evolved to is the benchmark of forest health.  One of the most common disrupters of forest health are non-native, invasive, plants.  These species evolved in other parts of the world and when grown here they are free from the regulating pressures that keep our ecosystems in balance.

If invasive plants are present on your property, contact Vermont Forestworks and we’ll develop a plan to remove them.  Don’t know if you have invasive plants?  No problem, we will find them as part of the forest management planning process.  Sustainable forest management requires healthy forests and that’s why we give invasive plant control a top priority.

We also have the tools, proper pesticide licenses, and know-how to treat ash trees against emerald ash borer infestation and eastern hemlock trees for hemlock woolly adelgid.

Check out vtinvasives.org for a listing of invasive species in Vermont.
