Wild Lands

Ecological Services

Guided by a living land ethic, we help landowners, tribes, and partners restore balance to the land— rebuilding native systems while keeping working lands productive and wild places alive for both people and wildlife.

What We Do

Wildlife & Habitat Services

Riparian & Wetland Systems

Buffer restoration, floodplain reconnection, and wetland enhancement to restore function and improve habitat for aquatic species and waterfowl.

Upland Habitat Restoration

Selective thinning, prescribed fire planning, and native groundcover establishment to benefit quail, turkey, deer, songbirds, and pollinators.

Agricultural & Post-Industrial Conversions

Transition row-crop or turf to native habitat; reforest disturbed sites; align projects with easements, incentives, and long-term stewardship goals.

Wildlife Enterprise Planning

Integrate habitat design, access, and user experience for hunting, fishing, and ecotourism—grounded in ecological performance and safety.

Monitoring & Compliance

Permit-aware specs (ESA/MBTA/CWA), field surveys, mapping, and clear reporting aligned with NRCS practices and agency standards.

Owner’s Rep & Implementation

Contractor oversight, native sourcing, schedule and budget management, and QA/QC—delivering the plan on the ground.

Our Values

Traditional Ethic.

Modern Results.

Wild lands are inherited lands—places of use, renewal, and responsibility. Our work blends traditional stewardship and ecological science to restore structure, reconnect water, and return natural disturbance to its rhythm. We measure success by function: native composition, clean water, abundant wildlife, and a landscape that still provides for those who depend on it.

Native-First

Local genotypes, community-level targets, and honest structure—not cosmetic plantings.

Active Stewardship

Fire, thinning, disking, and hydrologic reconnection—applied on purpose to guide succession.

Measure What Matters

Vegetation strata, focal species detections, water metrics, and user-day experience reported clearly.

Ancestral & Tribal Partnership

Good-faith consultation; sovereignty, cultural indicators, and data care where appropriate.

How We Work

Plan • Implement • Maintain

Every plan we write is guided by a simple principle: healthy land serves all. We balance ecological restoration with continued use—bringing together science, tradition, and the landowner’s goals to create resilient habitat and lasting value.

Plan

Site walk, baseline inventory, soils and hydrology review, clear objectives, budget and schedule, permit-aware specs.

Implement

Owner’s-rep or turnkey. Contractor oversight, native sourcing, QA/QC in the field, funding and compliance alignment.

Maintain

Seasonal monitoring, burn/maintenance calendars, annual reports, mid-course corrections, and continuity.
