Wildlife-Focused Tree Planting Services

OEM Earthworks provides professional tree planting for wildlife and conservation in Northeast Kansas, helping landowners establish trees that improve habitat, protect soil, and enhance the long-term function of their property. OEM Earthworks serves rural properties throughout Northeast Kansas, including the Topeka and Lawrence areas.

Unlike timber stand improvement, this service focuses on intentional tree establishment - placing the right trees in the right locations to support wildlife and conservation goals for decades to come.

OEM Earthworks offers wildlife tree planting designed to improve habitat structure and movement across a property. Our tree planting services support:

  • Cover and security for wildlife

  • Travel corridors between habitat areas

  • Improved edge habitat

  • Long-term diversity within the landscape

Each planting plan is customized to your land, goals, and existing habitat features.

How We Approach Tree Planting for Wildlife & Conservation

  • Shelterbelts and windbreaks provide immediate and long-term benefits for both land and wildlife. OEM Earthworks installs shelterbelts that help:

    • Reduce wind erosion

    • Protect crops, pasture, and soil

    • Provide thermal cover for wildlife

    • Improve overall land efficiency

    Proper spacing, species selection, and placement are critical to long-term success.

  • Tree planting plays a major role in creating wildlife corridors that allow animals to move safely and naturally across a property. OEM Earthworks designs corridors that:

    • Connect timber, grass, and water habitats

    • Improve daytime security cover

    • Support deer and other native species

    • Reduce pressure on existing habitat areas

    These corridors improve both wildlife use and overall land function.

  • OEM Earthworks provides conservation tree planting that supports long-term habitat goals and land stewardship. Our approach emphasizes:

    • Native and region-appropriate species

    • Strategic placement for durability and growth

    • Integration with grasslands, wetlands, and timber

    • Long-term maintenance considerations

    Tree planting is planned as part of a broader habitat strategy, not as an isolated project.

  • Successful tree planting requires planning beyond the first growing season. OEM Earthworks helps landowners think long-term by considering:

    • Soil conditions and drainage

    • Sun exposure and spacing

    • Future land use and access

    • Integration with food plots and water sources

    Our goal is to establish trees that thrive in Northeast Kansas conditions and continue providing benefits for years to come.

Reviews from Satisfied Landowners

  • “This week we discovered that we had an under ground leak in our water service line. Cody with OEM Earthworks responded to us the very same afternoon with an estimate and availability. Cody is a fantastic guy, and we always enjoy working with him. Give OEM a call and support local, family business.”

  • “We could not be more happy with the land clearing services provided by Cody. It was important to us to get as much land cleared as possible on our budget and Cody did just that. He did not waste any time and was able to meet all our expectations. He cleared AS MUCH land possible for the 8 hours of work billed. We will absolutely hire him again in the future.”
