Terrestrial and Aquatic Invasive Plant Services
Invasive plants degrade and diminish our lands and waterways. Some invasive
weeds threaten our native plants through competition for limited resources.
SEA specializes in identifying, monitoring, and managing weed species, both
aquatic and terrestrial. We perform assessment studies, prepare management
reports and develop monitoring plans that ensure control of invasive plants
and protect native plants and their habitats. SEA also has the necessary
experience consulting with resource agencies on behalf of our clients to
achieve optimal results.
