Davey Resource Group reduces phragmites in Long Pond with targeted spot spraying

The customer, a collaboration of local non-profit organizations and land trusts including Friends of Long Pond and the Nantucket Land Bank, faced a challenge with the regrowth of invasive phragmites in the tidal wetlands of Long Pond, Massachusetts. They enlisted Davey Resource Group, Inc. (DRG), a division of Davey Tree, for invasive vegetation management services to target these specific patches and help the native plant community recover.

Davey Resource Group, Inc. implemented a targeted solution using careful spot spraying of herbicide. Their team of ISA-certified arborists applied the treatment during an optimal season for effectiveness, using specialized equipment and techniques to minimize drift and impact on native vegetation and wildlife. This approach by Davey successfully reduced the phragmites, giving the native tidal plant community a better ecological chance to compete and regrow.
