Invasive species removal is essential for maintaining the health and balance of our ecosystems. These non-native plants can overtake native species, disrupt habitats, and harm biodiversity. At Swamp Yankee Earthcare, we offer thorough and safe removal of invasive plants using mechanical methods, ensuring no harmful chemicals are used. Our approach is effective yet environmentally friendly, promoting the long-term health of your land.
This service is crucial for landowners who want to protect and nurture their natural surroundings. Contact us today for a free consultation and let us help you reclaim your land from invasive species.
Free consultations are available for personal/private properties up to two acres and to land trusts.

Connecticut has more than 100 invasive plant species (and that number is growing). Although we specialize in the species listed above, we can also assist with the management of many other species. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need help with a plant or plants not listed. That said, there are a handful of plants we don't currently deal with - see that list below.
Norway Maple (Acer platinoides)
Phragmites (Phragmites australis)
Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima)
We also do not currently manage any other trees or aquatic plants but are working to be able to in the near future.
