About Us
Why invasive phragmites control?
Invasive plants such as phragmites reed and habitat loss are the leading cause of biodiversity loss. Invasive plants spread quickly, displace native plants, and have a negative impact on natural communities and systems, water quality, fish and wildlife habitat, forest tree cover, fire risk, personal property utilization and value as well as public safety, health and aesthetics.
