Why control invasive plants and noxious weeds?

Invasive plants are non-native species that have been brought here from another location unintentionally and unnaturally. Invasive plants spread into natural areas and displace native vegetation through various advantageous biological adaptations (seeding more frequently or in greater quantity, germinating earlier in the year, ability to change its environment, defensive thorns, non-specialized habitat) and a lack of natural predators. Without intervention, invasive plants may displace native species and cause an ecological imbalance. Controlling invasive plant species is important to protect rare native plants from being displaced or threatened by extinction.

Noxious weeds are plants identified under the Noxious Weeds Act that may pose significant harm to public health or the agricultural sector in Ontario. Controlling noxious weeds is an essential duty of the government and individual home and land owners due to the legislated requirements to remove these or face possible financial repercussions.

Why hire Restoration Artists to control noxious or invasive species?

Invasive species and noxious weed management and control is not practical for a typical homeowner, business owner or government body for several economic and logistical reasons. Several invasive species and noxious weeds pose a threat to human health and can be dangerous to remove without the proper knowledge or care taken during control and removal. Additionally, some invasive or noxious weed species require special consideration for management and control due to their persistence in the soil. Hiring professionals from Restoration Artists will ensure an experienced and knowledgeable person undertakes the removal in order to facilitate an efficient and successful management. Proper management and control of invasive and noxious plants requires adequate resources, proper licensing, and must follow strict government regulations and legislation. As a private contractor, Restoration Artists is a company that specializes with invasive species and noxious weed control techniques.
