Wildlife Habitat Improvement

Southern New England's forests are highly fragmented and are dominated by mature, even-aged stands. As a result, many habitat types, particularly young forest and shrubland habitats, have become increasingly scarce, placing additional pressure on a variety of native wildlife species.

Casadei Forestry Services helps landowners improve wildlife habitat by developing management strategies tailored to their property's unique conditions and conservation goals. Whether your objective is to create early successional habitat for declining species such as the New England cottontail and American woodcock, retain standing dead trees (snags) for cavity-nesting birds, increase coarse woody material to benefit amphibians, reptiles, and other forest wildlife, protect wetlands and vernal pools, enhance riparian buffers, or promote hard mast production and edge habitat for game species, our foresters can develop a management plan designed to improve the ecological value of your woodland.

In addition to habitat management, Casadei Forestry Services evaluates your property for the presence of critical wildlife habitat and the potential occurrence of rare, threatened, and endangered species using state and federal natural heritage databases. This information helps ensure that management activities protect sensitive resources while meeting your long-term management objectives.
