Habitat Improvement
What is it
Habitat improvement focuses on restoring land to a healthier, more natural state that supports wildlife, native plants, and long-term sustainability. At Sherrick Land Management, we specialize in removing invasive species such as bush honeysuckle and Callery pear, which choke out native vegetation and reduce habitat quality. By clearing these aggressive, non-native plants, we allow sunlight to reach the ground and give native grasses, trees, and forbs the opportunity to thrive again. This process not only improves the overall appearance of your property, but also creates better bedding, Õ½Õ¶ food sources, and cover for wildlife like deer, turkey, and pollinators. Our goal is to turn overgrown, unproductive land into a diverse, balanced ecosystem that continues to improve for years to come.
Timber Stand Improvement
Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) is the process of selectively removing low-quality, overcrowded, or undesirable trees to help the healthiest trees thrive. By reducing competition for sunlight, water, and nutrients, TSI promotes stronger growth, better timber value, and a more open, productive forest floor. It also enhances wildlife habitat by encouraging native vegetation and creating better cover and food sources.
Invasives Removal
nvasive species removal focuses on eliminating aggressive, non-native plants like bush honeysuckle, sericea lespedeza, and Callery pear that outcompete native vegetation and degrade habitat. These species quickly take over, limiting sunlight and preventing desirable plants from growing. By removing them, we restore balance to the ecosystem, allowing native grasses, trees, and forbs to return and creating healthier, more productive land for wildlife and long-term land management.
Tree Planting
We offer tree planting services designed to enhance your property for both beauty and long-term habitat value. Whether you're establishing native species for wildlife, creating windbreaks, or improving your land’s overall health, we ensure proper species selection, placement, and planting techniques for strong, successful growth. Our goal is to help you build a thriving landscape that benefits your property for years to come.
