WOODLANDS AND SAVANNAS

Purpose: The removal of non-native, invasive tree species that threaten local ecosystems by outcompeting native species for resources, disrupting wildlife habitats, and altering soil and water quality.
Common Applications: Forests, wetlands, and riparian areas where invasive species like Tree of Heaven, Buckthorn, Honeysuckle, Black Locust, Eurasian Ash, or Autumn Olive are encroaching and causing ecological damage.

Purpose: The use of heavy-duty mowing equipment (such as a rotary mower or brush cutter) to clear brush, small trees, and invasive vegetation in forested or natural areas.
Common Applications: Managing forest understory, clearing overgrown areas, removing invasive shrubs and small trees, or preparing land for replanting or controlled burns.

Purpose: A method of killing trees by applying herbicide to the bark near the base (the "basal" area) of the tree. This method is typically used for controlling small to medium-sized trees.
Common Applications: Control of unwanted or invasive tree species (e.g., Buckthorn, Privet, Honeysuckle) in woodlands, wetlands, or disturbed areas.
