The spread of invasive species is a persistent challenge across New England’s landscapes. Parterre’s ecological team conducts thorough site assessments to understand the scope and impact of invasive plant pressure. We implement phased, site-specific management strategies that combine manual removal, targeted herbicide application, and ongoing monitoring. Our approach is designed to reduce long-term spread, support the recovery of native plant communities, and restore the visual and ecological integrity of the site.
Who We Work With
