Moist-soil management, or waterfowl management is one of our specialties. HLM offers professional guidance to landowners looking to optimize their wetlands for waterfowl and other wetland-dependent wildlife. We focus on carefully timed water manipulation to promote the growth of seed-producing plants and aquatic invertebrates, ensuring your wetland provides high-quality food and habitat throughout the year.

Our services include:

• Evaluating your wetland’s vegetation and seed bank potential.

• Developing customized water control plans for drawdown and inundation.

• Maximizing seed production to support migrating and wintering waterfowl.

• Managing plant decomposition cycles to enhance invertebrate populations.

• Providing ongoing guidance to maintain long-term wetland productivity.

Our goal is to create wetlands that not only meet wildlife needs but also provide sustainable, long-term value for landowners. Whether you’re looking to enhance your wetland for waterfowl hunting or waterfowl conservation, we can help. Waterfowl management is a 12-month process, from deliberate spring drawdowns to blind placement and brushing, we are happy to be as involved as needed to ensure a successful waterfowl season for you.
