Keystone Conservation offers a comprehensive suite of on-ground restoration and land management services, tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our experienced Ecological Restoration and Land Management teams employ a range of technical and practical expertise to deliver effective solutions, with a focus on native vegetation management and restoration. Our approach focuses on integrated management approaches, based on a deep understanding of species responses and tolerances.

Our services include:

Invasive Species Management

We specialise in identifying and controlling invasive species through targeted herbicide spraying, hand-weeding, brush cutting, and selective burning techniques. Our approach extends beyond traditional weed control by facilitating and fostering indigenous recruitment events, promoting ecosystem perpetuity, and prioritising the restoration of native vegetation while minimising environmental impact.

Revegetation

Keystone Conservation excels in designing and implementing complex revegetation projects. We address challenges such as Asset Protection Zones (APZ), steep slopes and challenging site conditions via a wide range of unique strategies. We have developed herbicide-resistant guilds for cost-effective garden beds for open spaces and roadsides. Our multidisciplinary staff provide specialist services and recommendations, ensuring that our revegetation efforts are both innovative and effective. From supplementary planting to comprehensive revegetation projects, we ensure the long-term success of plantings through well-informed planning, site preparation and maintenance.

Machinery Operation

Our machinery operation services efficiently support sensitive land restoration and management projects, with all operators being qualified and experienced in the industry. We deliver large-scale mulching, earthworks and forestry grooming operations with equipment appropriate for site sensitivities. Our skilled operators ensure effective and sustainable outcomes for diverse land management needs.

Free Reactive Services

We provide free reactive GIS services for specific needs such as orchid mapping and high-threat invasive species. These services enable us to keep clients informed of on-site specifics, respond swiftly to emerging issues and incorporate up-to-date data into our management strategies.

At Keystone Conservation, we are committed to delivering integrated solutions that balance needs with ecological objectives and bushfire risk management. Our comprehensive approach, supported by our multidisciplinary team, ensures the success of restoration and land management projects while preserving and enhancing ecological integrity and resilience.
