Preserving biodiversity may be the major ecological and environmental issue of this century. Whether it is in the worlds rainforest regions, the Pacific Islands, Europe, Asia, Africa, or right here on the North American continent, in East Texas. Any species that cannot continue to exist due to fire, chainsaw, or even other, invasive plants, has the potential to have a major impact, both now, and far into the future. This is one of the few occasions where thinking globally, and acting locally, are the same thing! All biodiversity is local.

Large scale biodiversity protection and preservation projects are different than smaller scale, even neighborhood level projects mainly in scope. Both types are desperately needed. Local problems rarely stay local. They migrate much like the invasive exotics that sometimes cause them. Both the plants, and the problems move.

Often, drastic measures need to be taken to preserve local biodiversity. This involves the identification of invasive exotic species, and the elimination of such species to preserve the local biodiversity. We provide biodiversity services for this reason.

Our biodiversity services include the identification and elimination of non native exotic species, and revegetation with appropriate species if desired. We offer both terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity services, ranging from small backyard habitats, to much larger commercial projects.

These services are provided for commercial and residential clients.

Backyard Habitat Help

Backyard habitats can be great for the environment, for the entertainment and education of children and adults, for the control of unwanted insect predators like mosquitoes, and for many other less tangible reasons.

Most of the work can be done by the motivated homeowner, but sometimes a little help is needed. we have many pages of information available here to help you, and we have lists of other backyard habitat help resources as well.

Beside these information resources, we also offer practical backyard habitat help for the homeowner when it is needed. We do this by offering consultation and help with identification of species, the elimination of unwanted species by the least drastic means, and we can help with design and construction when needed.

Not everyone who wants to do something good for wildlife, the environment, nature and the neighborhood, has the skills, the tools, the license, or the time to perform some of these tasks. If you find yourself in one of these situations, we will be glad to help you develop your own backyard wildlife habitat.

Our services are provided for those in the East Texas area.
