Releasing the native seeds from the pressures of aggressive invasives can lead to the emergence of native flowers that can feed and host beneficial insects!

Bluebells

Sensitive species benefit from the removal of encroaching nuisance exotics like multiflora rose and bush honeysuckle.

No matter your land management goals, managing understory brush is essential

​

Unmanaged brush and invasive plants can quickly overwhelm a forest or any native community, Invasive shrubs and vines can quickly crowd out native species, reducing wildlife habitat quality, and increasing the risk of damaging events such as windthrow and fire. Thoughtful vegetation management uses targeted, science-based practices to restore understory communities—clearing the way for native trees and other plants to thrive.

​

Why it matters:

  • Reduces competition from aggressive shrub and vine species.

  • Encourages regeneration of native trees, shrubs, and wildflowers. 

  • Improves forest access for recreation and management

  • Restoration of native under story is essential for high quality pollinator and bird habitat 

  • Lowers long-term maintenance costs once control is established

  • Even native species like red cedar, red maple, and beech require management in certain contexts
