Industrial Vegetation Management
Envu is dedicated to environmental stewardship in a sustainable integrated vegetation management system. By using the proper herbicide selection, application practices and species identification, we can not only help bee, butterfly and bird populations, but we can also encourage a healthier environment overall.
Even though they are small, pollinators play a valuable role in ecological health. Many plants depend on pollinating animals, which can include ants, native bees, birds, bats, butterflies, lizards and other insects. When pollinators suffer, there are far-reaching effects from the food system to even our national economy. That’s why it’s vitally important to consider the impact of your vegetation management practices.
About 75% of all flowering plant species require pollinators to produce seed.1
Native bees and butterflies need a steady supply of pollen and nectar from flowering plants throughout the growing season.
Integrated vegetation management can restore native wildflowers and grasses by selectively removing invasive weeds and dense brush. By utilizing chemical methods instead of just mowing, we allow natural plant competition to provide biological control to sustain desirable, low-growing plants with reduced costs.
Envu products are reviewed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA is the regulatory body that reviews and approves herbicide products before use in the environment. Rigorous testing is required to ensure that each product meets environmental standards required by federal, state and tribal laws. When used according to label instructions, there are no unreasonable adverse effects on wildlife or pollinators, and Envu herbicides meet this standard for use.

| Envu is committed to supporting pollinators. Our Feed a Bee program has rallied more than
900,000 individuals and 117 partner organizations to plant more than 2 billion wildflowers across the USA. |
Over time, successful integrated vegetation management reduces the need and carbon footprint of mechanical (mowing and cutting) maintenance, lowers utility costs, minimizes habitat disturbances and reduces the threat to nesting animals. By allowing native plants to thrive, you’ll also be encouraging your ROI to thrive.

At Envu, we advocate using the right tool at the right time to achieve vegetation management objectives. By leveraging years of plant and herbicide research down to the lowest effective use rate, we ensure you get the most out of your integrated vegetation management programs while supporting healthy habitats. Together, we can create more forage for pollinators and build a more sustainable environment for the future.
