Land Use Management & Weed Control

We have developed a variety of successful land use management plans for federal, state, private and tribal entities:

Forest, Fire & Grazing Management Plans

We develop and implement short and long term forest management plans that meet our clients' diverse objectives. From prescribed fire plans, to short-duration, high-intensity livestock grazing systems on reclaimed mine lands, our land-use plans increase soil microbial activity, vegetation cover and forage production. We also perform forest and rangeland improvement work.

Integrated Resource Management Plans (IRMPs)

In coordination with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), we have assisted tribes in developing their IRMPs. An effective IRMP clearly describes cultural, environmental and socioeconomic development opportunities, with an evaluation of long-term resource management policies. With a comprehensive IRMP in place, tribal governments are better able to assess tribal resources and develop action plans to manage these resources. We develop management strategies that provide direction and stability for the sustained growth of tribal economies, while preserving traditional values and protecting sensitive resources.

Natural Resource Damage Assessments (NRDA)

We provide a full range of services to manage NRDA liabilities, from identifying and quantifying impacts on natural resources, to developing emergency response, through designing restoration projects.

Noxious Weed Inventories & Management

From identifying and treating noxious weeds to designing custom seed mixtures, our vegetation specialists (including Colorado and Wyoming State-Certified Commercial Pesticide Applicators) develop and execute effective vegetation management and targeted weed control plans. We use backpack and ATV equipment for spot and broadcast applications at rangeland, rights of way and aquatic sites. We also provide record-keeping and periodic reporting, GPS and GIS mapping, and control effectiveness evaluations.
