About Us

At Native Lands and Waters, we are dedicated to restoring the natural balance of our environment through expert buckthorn removal and ecological restoration. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, we proudly serve homeowners, Native American tribes, conservation groups, and local government agencies across Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa.

Our journey began with a profound commitment to protect and revitalize native ecosystems. Buckthorn, an invasive species that threatens the health and diversity of our lands, has undermined the beauty and vitality of our natural spaces. We recognized that the time had come for a dedicated, expert approach—one that not only removes this harmful plant but also revitalizes the prairies, cultural, and medicinal plants that define our region's heritage.

Our specialized team of ecologists, restoration experts, and cultural stewards combines decades of expertise with innovative, science-based methods. We meticulously tailor our strategies to each project, ensuring that every intervention—from efficient buckthorn removal to prairie and plant restoration—is uniquely suited to the needs of the land. Our work honors ancestral stewardship and upholds a commitment to create resilient ecosystems where native species can thrive.
