Foresters often claim to be the original environmental land managers, and rightly so. However, many projects do not include a timber production component as a primary goal.

Natural Resource Planning Services, Inc. (NRPS) has broad experience in land management for non-timber resources. This experience includes management for water resources conservation, wildlife habitat improvement, ecological restoration, and environmental land management and monitoring activities.

• Vegetation management by prescribed burning, or mechanical and chemical treatments
• Ecosystem restoration through establishment, maintenance, and monitoring of desired species
• Vegetation mapping (FLUCCS, NAI, NWI, etc.)
• Road network and drainage pattern modification to enhance or restore site hydrology
