Buckthorn, phragmites, emerald ash borer and more are moving through Southwestern Ontario's woodlots. We identify what's on your property and build a practical, staged plan to knock it back.
Invasive plants and pests spread quickly, crowd out native regeneration, and can quietly undo decades of good management. These are the ones we see most in our region:
A property walk to identify what's present, how far it's spread, and what's at risk if nothing is done.
You can't fight everything at once. We target the infestations where effort buys the most protection for your forest.
A staged program of mechanical and, where appropriate, targeted herbicide control — matched to the species, the season and your comfort level.
Refilling the gaps with native regeneration or planting, and follow-up visits so the problem stays managed.
Invasive control costs climb steeply with time. A patch of buckthorn you can pull in an afternoon becomes, in a decade, an understory takeover that takes years of repeated treatment to reverse.
If you've noticed something new spreading in your woodlot — or you're not sure what you're looking at — that's exactly the right time to call.
Send us a photo — identification is free, and early is everything.
