Total Brush Management Quantity is 949.6 acres, covering 10 individual parcels. Not all acres have brush on them. Length of contract is <2 years ending December 31st, 2025. NRCS holds conservation easements on private land- those easements are enrolled in the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP). These grassland easements have been previously restored to native prairie vegetation; both grasses and broad-leaved plants are present on the easements. Scattered woody vegetation has sprouted on these easements and NRCS would like that scattered woody vegetation killed, cut and shredded with a follow up spot foliar herbicide application to catch resprouting trees. Existing density of trees varies across the various properties but is generally considered light density. The objective of tree & brush control & removal is to kill and cut invasive and undesirable woody vegetation from the defined areas within the easement.
