Ecotone Ecological Restoration

Releasing Legacy Oaks

Oak savannas, once abundant, are now among our rarest ecosystems. We specialize in restoring these biodiverse habitats by freeing ancient oaks from invasive overgrowth and reintroducing native understory.

The Rarest Ecosystems

Oak savannas are not just forests; they are living testaments to historical ecology.

These unique ecosystems support incredible biodiversity and provide critical watershed health benefits. Our work ensures their enduring legacy for future generations.

Invasive Eradication

Canopy Thinning

Understory Seeding

We meticulously remove aggressive invasive species that choke out native flora, preparing the site for ecological recovery.

Strategic thinning of competing trees and brush allows legacy oaks to thrive, increasing light penetration to the understory.

Reintroduction of historically accurate native grasses, forbs, and wildflowers rebuilds the biodiverse savanna ground layer.
