Phragmites Management
SOLitude Success Stories and Case Studies
Invasive plants, such as phragmites, are species that were introduced to an area that is outside of their natural range of dispersal and, once introduced, will begin to grow and thrive in these new areas. Once established, these invasive species tend to dominate the area, out competing native species and, in some cases, destroy the overall ecosystem by eliminating all native plants and making the area useless to the animal life that once called these areas home.
Below are case studies highlighting a few of our success stories involving phragmites management projects.
