Invasive Vegetation Management

Invasive Vegetation Management

Invasive vegetation—including species like narrow-leaved cattail (Typha angustifolia) and common reed (Phragmites australis)—can quickly overtake aquatic and terrestrial environments. These aggressive invasive plants (historically grouped under the broader term invasive species) can cause:

• Impeded water flow and increased flooding risk
• Reduced stormwater storage and infrastructure function
• Decreased biodiversity and habitat quality
• Non-compliance with local, state, or federal regulations

EnviroScience provides regulatory-compliant invasive vegetation management services tailored to your property’s unique needs, compliance requirements, and project goals.

Our biologist-led teams use targeted herbicide applications and mechanical removal methods to control invasive growth while protecting native ecosystems and supporting environmental obligations.

Invasive Vegetation Control & Management Services Include:

• Property-specific assessments to identify and map invasive vegetation
• Customized vegetation control plans aligned with permit or mitigation requirements
• Herbicide application using EPA-approved products
• Mechanical removal and responsible disposal
• Ongoing monitoring and maintenance programs to sustain compliance

Targeted Invasive Vegetation Management Includes:

Aquatic & Wetland Plants:

Narrow-leaved cattail (Typha angustifolia)
Common reed (Phragmites australis)
Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria)
Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea)
