| Treatment |
Description |
| Chemical Application |
Reduce the amount of competing/invasive plants through
the utilization of chemical treatments. Also utilized
in the maintenance of a site once restored. |
| Chopping |
Reduce heavy amounts of competing vegetation (i.e.
palmetto) by pulling a single drum chopper behind a tractor. |
| Direct Seeding |
After the area is completely site-prepared utilize
natural vegetation seed collected from donor sites and
plant the treatment area. |
| Mowing |
Mow areas consisting of light fuel loads that cannot
utilize a prescribed burn. |
| Mulching/Under-brushing |
Reduce heavy understory and mid-story fuel loads with
a mulching/under-brushing machine without compacting
the soil or affecting the understory vegetation. Very
versatile and excellent when working around threatened/endangered
species. |
| Planting Herbaceous/Shrubby Material |
Either hand or machine planting of naturally/historically
occurring herbaceous/shrubby plant material after the
site has been prepared properly to enhance or create
various habitats/ecosystems (i.e. wetlands, scrubs,
sandhills, etc.). |
| Prescribed Burning |
Reduce competing/hazardous vegetation through prescribed
burning, possibly releasing targeted native flora found
in the understory. Also utilized in the maintenance
of a site once restored. |
| Reforestation |
Planting of tree species to enhance or create various
habitats/ecosystems (i.e. wetlands, scrubs, sandhills,
etc.). |
