HABITAT ENHANCEMENT & MANAGEMENT

Create Thriving Wildlife Habitats on Your Property

At Eden Hills Land Management, we understand the importance of a well-managed habitat for attracting and supporting diverse wildlife. Whether you’re an avid hunter looking to improve game populations or a landowner interested in fostering a rich natural environment, our habitat enhancement and management services are designed to meet your needs.

OUR MAINTENANCE METHODS

Invasive Species Control: Invasive species can significantly impact the health of your habitat by outcompeting native plants and altering the ecosystem. Our invasive species control services involve identifying and managing invasive plants and animals to restore balance to your property. We use a combination of mechanical, chemical, and biological control methods to effectively manage invasive species, creating a more hospitable environment for native game species.

Native Pollinator Habitat Establishment: Pollinators play a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Our native pollinator habitat establishment services involve planting native wildflowers and grasses that attract and support bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. This not only benefits wildlife but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of your property, providing additional forage for game species like deer, which rely on pollinated plants.

Timber Stand Improvement: Improving the health and productivity of your timber stands is crucial for creating a robust wildlife habitat. Our timber stand improvement services include selective thinning, pruning, and the removal of undesirable vegetation. These practices promote the growth of healthy trees, enhance biodiversity, and provide better forage and cover for game species such as deer and turkeys.

Food Plot Maintenance & Planting: Food plots are essential for attracting and sustaining wildlife. We offer comprehensive food plot services, including site selection, soil testing, planting, and ongoing maintenance. Our goal is to create productive food plots that provide nutritious forage for deer, turkeys, and other game species throughout the year.

Bedding Area Creation: Providing adequate bedding areas is essential for attracting and retaining deer on your property. Our bedding area creation services involve selecting and managing sites to provide optimal cover and security for deer. We use techniques such as hinge cutting, brush piling, and planting native grasses to create effective bedding areas, ensuring deer have safe and comfortable resting spots.

Forest Management Plans: A well-developed forest management plan is key to achieving your long-term habitat goals. Our team will work with you to create a detailed plan that outlines management practices, timelines, and objectives. This includes recommendations for timber harvesting, wildlife habitat improvements, and conservation practices to ensure the health and sustainability of your forest, benefiting species like deer, grouse, and rabbits.

Wetland Installation: Wetlands provide critical habitat for a variety of wildlife species and play an important role in water quality and flood control. Our wetland installation services include site assessment, design, and construction of wetlands that enhance wildlife habitat and improve ecosystem services on your property. Wetlands are particularly beneficial for attracting waterfowl and amphibians, adding diversity to your game populations.

Edge Feathering: Edge feathering is the process of gradually transitioning from open fields to forested areas to create valuable habitat for wildlife. This technique provides cover, forage, and travel corridors for a variety of species. Our edge feathering services include planning and implementing these transitions to enhance the diversity and usability of your land, benefiting game species like quail, rabbits, and deer.

Soil Testing and Amendments: Healthy soil is the foundation of a productive habitat. We offer soil testing and amendment services to ensure your land has the necessary nutrients and pH balance to support healthy plant growth. Based on the results, we provide recommendations for lime, fertilizer, and other amendments to optimize soil health, enhancing forage quality for game species.

Wildlife Openings: Creating open areas within your forest provides critical foraging and grazing opportunities for wildlife. Our wildlife opening services involve selecting and clearing sites to create meadows, food plots, and other open spaces that attract and sustain game species like deer, turkeys, and rabbits.
