Buffer Zone Management & Ecological Restorations

 

Healthy land is valuable land. Whether you are battling aggressive invasive vines or need to restore a wetland buffer to satisfy a permit condition, Avizinis Environmental Services provides the scientific expertise and hands-on management you need.

 

Invasive Species Management

Invasive plants like Japanese Knotweed, Oriental Bittersweet, and Phragmites can quickly overrun a property, choking out native vegetation. We develop targeted Invasive Species Management Plans that utilize a combination of mechanical removal and selective herbicide application to reclaim your property.

 

Buffer Zone Management & Planting

In both Rhode Island and Massachusetts, the land immediately surrounding a wetland (the "Buffer Zone") is strictly regulated. We design Buffer Zone Management Plans with homeowner’s wishes and those regulations in mind that allow for the removal of invasive overgrowth and the planting of native species. Once approved and permitted, we can assist your landscaper with implementation. This improves the ecological health of the wetland while often restoring visual aesthetics and property access.

 

Wetland Restoration & Replication

Our team designs and oversees complex Wetland Restorations, ensuring the correct hydrology, soil mix, and plant community to meet regulatory success standards.  Throughout the steps of restoring these sensitive areas, we take care of site monitoring and prepare reports to inform regulators of progress.  If a project requires the alteration of a wetland, regulations often demand that you create a new wetland elsewhere on the site.  AES has experience establishing these wetland replications and ensuring that they flourish and thrive.
