Wetlands MANAGEMENT WILDLIFE RESTORATION
,Because 75% of wetlands are located on private lands, those owners play a pivotal role in restoring and protecting wetland health.
Acorn Outdoors works with landowners, agencies and consultants providing expert services for mitigation opportunities. We at Acorn approach mitigation banking projects from an educated blue collar perspective. We strive to perform turnkey and single phase operations focused on supporting the efficient and effective application of wetland mitigation practices and silviculture. We are your rubber meets the road company to handle your prescribed burning, herbicide application, planting, invasive species control, and civil and structural construction.
Acorn is adept at properly reading and interpreting your wetland management plan to look for efficiencies in operations. We have experience working with government, NGOs, and private, and corporate funding sources to help landowners carry the burden of restoration investments.
OUR WETLANDS SERVICES INCLUDE:
structural & civil construction
We design and build crossings, low-water bridges, culverts, and other infrastructure to provide access through wetland areas. Our projects are engineered for durability while maintaining natural water flow and protecting sensitive habitats.
prescribed burning
Through prescribed burning, we restore balance to wetland ecosystems by encouraging native vegetation, reducing hazardous buildup, and creating better conditions for wildlife. Every burn is carefully planned and executed to protect surrounding resources while achieving ecological benefits.
herbicide application
We use targeted herbicide treatments to control invasive plants and unwanted vegetation in your region or ecosystem. Our approach improves growing conditions for desirable species while minimizing environmental impact.
tree, shrub, & grass establishment
We establish native trees, shrubs, and grasses to stabilize soil, improve habitat, and restore wetland ecosystems. Each planting prescription is tailored to site conditions to ensure long-term growth and resilience.
invasive species control
We manage invasive plants like Chinese tallow, cogongrass, and water hyacinth, along with animals such as feral hogs and nutria rats. These species damage wetlands and forests by displacing native vegetation, disrupting water systems, and degrading habitat. Removing invasives restores balance, supports native wildlife, and protects the long-term health of the land.
wildlife management
Wetlands aren’t always wet, but when managed properly they provide essential habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife. Practices like establishing and maintaining greentree reservoirs ensure high-quality seasonal habitat, benefiting migratory birds as well as game species such as deer and turkey, all while supporting your broader land management goals.
