Sanctuary (noun): a consecrated (holy) place; a place of refuge and protection
Sanctuary is a common term in wildlife habitat management used to describe an area with an abundance of resources and lack of human intrusion. These are places where animals can retreat, rest, and fill their needs. Our goal is to help create sanctuary not only for the wildlife, but for you.

Timber Stand Improvement (TSI)
TSI is the practice of manipulating a stand of timber to achieve a certain goal. This is a great way to increase the productivity of a future timber harvest, strategically locate bedding areas for whitetails, or improve the brood-rearing success of quail and turkeys.
Prescribed burning
Reintroducing fire to the landscape is an incredibly beneficial practice. When planned and executed properly, burns will uniquely boost the productivity of your land.
Invasive species management
Bush honeysuckle, multiflora rose, ironwood, excessive cedar encroachment; these are just a few of the problem plants we deal with in northwest Missouri. We can help you get these populations under control and restore biological diversity.
Tree/shrub planting
Diversity is important in the natural landscape. Establishing the presence of native, beneficial trees and shrubs can provide a positive impact for years to come.

Native grasslands are a richly diverse ecosystem with a vast range of benefits to wildlife. From insects to large mammals, many species thrive when prairies are present. We can help plan and implement native prairie plantings of many sizes and types.
