Moist Soil Management

At HLH, moist-soil management is one of our core strengths. Our team specializes in creating and maintaining rich wetland environments that deliver high-quality food resources, habitat complexity, and long-term landowner value. Whether you’re managing for peak duck season, enhancing waterfowl conservation, or maximizing habitat versatility — we’ve got you covered.

What we offer

• Comprehensive vegetation & seed-bank assessment
  We begin by evaluating your site’s existing wetland vegetation and seed-bank potential, so we know exactly where to build from and how to plan for optimal productivity.

• Custom water-control design & execution
  Through precisely timed drawdowns, inundations, and manipulations of water levels, we trigger seed-setting plants and aquatic invertebrates that serve as premium waterfowl food.

• Season-long habitat planning
  From early-spring drawdown preparation to late-winter flooding and blind placement, we develop a year-round strategy to maximize your wetland’s value.

• Invertebrate & decomposition cycle management
  Good habitat isn’t just about plants, it’s about the aquatic food web. We manage plant die-off, decomposition, and invertebrate production so your site supports both migrating and wintering waterfowl.

• Ongoing monitoring & guidance
  After establishment, we remain engaged. Wildlife and wetlands are dynamic. We provide expert guidance and hands on support to keep your wetland productive, resilient, and aligned with your goals.
