Planning

Planning is accomplished by gathering the best natural resource professionals available to your community under one umbrella and utilizing sound scientific practices and proven countermeasures to gradually reverse the negative effects of undermanaged land. A key component to the success of any management plan is thoughtful integration of stakeholder input and sound professional guidance. With a solid basis in science and the support of the stakeholders, proven management practices can be applied to achieve positive long-term results.

Community Outreach

Community outreach is the component most overlooked in natural resource management. Your community contains valuable internal resources in the form of employees, residents, businesses, and stakeholder groups which will greatly enhance your management plan. Eccologix will cultivate these important relationships and solicit qualitative feedback from a diverse array of stakeholders.

Monitoring

Monitoring is crucial to every step in the biological diversification process. Close attention must be paid to the effects of applied science on the biodiversity of native species, with particular attention paid to the species of special concern. Eccologix constantly evaluates the progress of species specific manipulation through proven techniques, and sound scientific practices. Our work is continually monitored by our executive staff and cooperating partners for continuity and timeliness of objectives.

Management Plans

Management plans are the blueprint of biodiversification. Thoughtful and professional planning integrates sound scientific practices with best management practices and serves as the progress gauge of any management plan. Natural resource professionals adjust the goals of your community consistent with information contained within your management plan to accomplish the long-term strategies outlined within the framework of a management plan.

Non-Lethal Management

Non-Lethal Management is by design an alternative to harvest removal of surplus species that negatively affect the diversity of plant and animal species. It focuses on scientifically approved methods of sustaining species specific populations, or forcing physical changes to the habitat that prevent or discourage interaction with plant or animal species of special concern by any one particular dominant species in the management area.

Woodland/Meadow Regeneration Management

Stakeholders are preserving open-space projects at a historical pace and as this trend continues it is logical to utilize that open space for habitat improvement projects. Balancing biodiversity is only a step in the process of reparation of open space; close attention must be paid to improving the condition of woodlands and meadows. These two types of habitat account for the majority of open space in your community, and properly managed are a suitable environment for a self-sustaining and diverse preservation project.

Harvest Management

Harvest Management is the lethal removal of surplus, nuisance or destructive wildlife from the population. This is accomplished through the use of highly regulated equipment and techniques. Eccologix selects only responsible, experienced and skillful individuals to implement these techniques. While we offer a variety of harvest options Eccologix focuses on the removal of deer through regulated hunting seasons established by your state wildlife agency, and through the privileges granted under special use permits. Eccologix recommends the use of special permits only as a last resort or as a supplemental removal strategy where a recreational program fails to meet the objective of an established management program.

Invasive Species Management

Nuisance and invasive species management is critical to the well-being and health of your human residents. Disease and illness can occur where populations of birds and mammals congregate in large enough densities to affect water quality, sanitary conditions, or provide opportunities for parasitic insects to spread disease. Contraceptives are approved for geese and pigeons and in conjunction with a long-term management plan, can be extremely effective.
