About Us
Helping you support a healthy environment
Red Tail Restoration & Land Management, LLC was opened in 2010 to support a healthier ecosystem for natural lands in Delaware, southeast Pennsylvania, southwest New Jersey, and northeast Maryland.
Our Specialties
We specialize in invasive plant removal to promote native diversity.
We also help landowners:
- Reduce deer impact,
- Improve storm water management,
- Manage ponds,
- Install pollinator friendly landscapes, and
- Support healthier streams.
Our Goals
Our approach is to take a comprehensive view of the land, people, and wildlife and work over time to produce long-lasting results. Success comes from understanding individual species, timing management techniques when most effective, seeking support from outside agencies, and often working with community members to achieve wide-ranging goals.

Joe started with Red Tail in 2019. He graduated from Pennsylvania State University in December of 2017 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Geography (Physical). During the Fall of 2017, he spent three weeks camping in the Sierra Nevada's (Golden Trout Wilderness within Inyo National Forest) with a graduate student from the Geography Departments vegetative dynamics lab. They conducted forestry surveys gathering data on plant regeneration from recent fires with a focus on Jeffrey Pine trees. This experience propelled him into a fascination with plant life and restoring native ecology.
