Wildlife Habitat Improvement

As part of a comprehensive management plan, Bay State Forestry Service will help landowners identify specific wildlife goals. We incorporate advice of wildlife management professionals to help attain habitat goals for your property while complying with applicable wildlife regulations.  

The following are examples from some of our current and past projects:  

• Encouraging early successional forest & shrub-land to improve wildlife habitat
• Converting woods or wood edge for the reestablishment of native grass species to encourage songbirds in migration, whose natural habitats are in decline
• Control of invasive plant species to encourage the establishment of native woody & herbaceous plants, in turn supporting native reptiles, insects, birds & mammals

If applicable, Bay State Forestry Service can also help you, to enroll in cost sharing programs.
