Ecological Sustainability And Its Impact On You
Everything in nature, like it or not, is connected. Even if you can't see it, impacts are being made even on a microscopic level that have a chain reaction impacting even you! As gardeners and growers, we need to realize this and learn to use nature to our advantage. As the world around us is being threatened by unethical practices, we must strive to be better. It's the method of the future. At EcoSafe, we consult our clients on the best and most realistic methods of growing with the end goal of limitting the impact on the ecosystem around us. From soil health to biocontrol, we strive to change the norm back to a more natural method one person at a time.
What are Invasive Species?
Invasive species are harmful species of plants or animals that harm our native eco-system. These are non-native, have no (or few) predators around to control their population growth, and if left unchecked will push out/outcompete native species in the ecosystem that share the same niche (role) or habitat as the invasive species. One big way that invasive species are introduced is through accidental release into the eco-system. Believe it or not, many common plants found around New York State are invasive and are intentionally planted for their looks, but can pose issues to plant or animal life around them. This is a major reason that we, at EcoSafe, strive to only plant non-invasives and help with the removal of commonly found invasives (pests or plants). Interested in learning more about this subject?
