PRAIRIES AND WETLANDS

Purpose: Routine or periodic maintenance tasks that vary by season to ensure the health and functionality of restored landscape per local ordinances. This can include managing plant growth, controlling invasive species, mulching, watering, and monitoring ecosystem health.
Common Applications: Landscapes undergoing restoration, native plant gardens, stormwater management areas, and wildlife habitats

Purpose: Converting turf-grass (often lawn or lawn-like areas) to native prairie or meadow habitats. This involves removing non-native grasses and establishing native plants that provide better biodiversity, require less water, and offer more ecosystem services.
Common Applications: Urban or suburban areas where lawns or manicured turf can be replaced with native grasses and wildflowers, reducing maintenance and promoting wildlife habitat.
