Tsuga’s Ecological Services
Restoration Monitoring
Whether collecting pre and post restoration data or selecting a reference site, TEC has the knowledge and experience to implement the appropriate methodology to meet the project needs.
Rare Plant Monitoring
If there is a chance your project might impact populations of state listed species, TEC can monitor the project area to determine if those species occur within the site.
Invasive Species Mapping
Early detection of invasive species and mapping of known populations are an important component of planning for ecological health.
Stewardship Plans
TEC has worked with regional partners to create land stewardship plans, focusing on ecosystem health and each organization’s long-term objectives.
Wetland Assessment
TEC follows the MPCA protocols in Minnesota and WDNR protocols in Wisconsin for wetland assessment to quantify plant community health.
Ecological Monitoring
Setting up baseline data and monitoring plant community health helps inform stewardship activities, and TEC has over a decade of experience working on projects like the Coastal Wetland Monitoring Program or the Wisconsin DNR inland wetlands rapid assessment program.
