CONSERVATION LANDSCAPING
Conservation landscaping using native species helps preserve local ecosystems, supports biodiversity, and reduces the need for water, pesticides, and fertilizers. By choosing native plants, it creates habitats for local wildlife and promotes healthier, more sustainable landscapes.
REMOVING INVASIVE SPECIES
Removing invasive species from forests is crucial for protecting native biodiversity, maintaining ecosystem balance, and promoting healthy habitats. This process helps protect oak trees from competition and diseases brought by invasives, allowing them and other native species to thrive and maintain a stable ecosystem.
