What can we do for you?
Aquatic & Terrestrial Weed Removal
Control of noxious weeds is performed using Integrated Pest Management practices. Every tool in the toolbox is considered including cultural, physical, mechanical, biological, and chemical. When herbicides are chosen, care is taken to target only the noxious plants in an effort to leave native non-noxious plants to re-inhabit the area. Application equipment is calibrated to ensure that the products are applied precisely on the target area. GPS information is uploaded into our mapping software and used to create maps of the treatment to communicate the process to customers and demonstrate the thoroughness of the applications.
Ecological Survey and Analysis
Treatments are monitored with the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. Routes are pre-mapped within the treatment areas and loaded into two GPS units per application vessel. By using two GPS devices, the applicator is able to monitor their progress within the treatment area from multiple perspectives. Additionally, using two devices ensures no loss of data.
GPS tracks are uploaded to ArcView, a mapping program, at the end of each treatment day for review. Tracks are analyzed for thoroughness of the treatment and used to calculate the actual area treated to ensure that the desired application is achieved. Based on survey results, recommendations can be made for the control of any undesirable plants.
Education
We have spoken at many conferences and love to be a source of education with anything regarding preserving the environment.
