Quality wildlife habitat takes planning, proper installation, and continued management.
At Pro Plots, we provide professional waterfowl, turkey, and pheasant habitat installation and maintenance in Green Lake, Wisconsin and surrounding areas for landowners who want to create more productive habitat and get more out of their property.
As a local father-and-son operated business, we work directly with Wisconsin landowners to evaluate existing conditions, identify habitat opportunities, complete improvement projects, and help maintain those areas over time.
Whether you own hunting land, farmland, wetlands, recreational acreage, or a property you simply want to make more wildlife-friendly, Pro Plots can help develop a plan that fits your land and your goals.
Better cover. Better food. Better habitat. Better land.
Wildlife Habitat Built Around Your Property
Every property is different, and every wildlife species uses the landscape differently.
Water, nesting cover, food sources, native vegetation, field edges, timber, wetlands, and surrounding agricultural ground can all influence how wildlife uses a property.
That is why we do not use the same habitat plan everywhere.
Pro Plots evaluates your property and helps determine where targeted improvements can make the biggest difference.
Depending on your property, our wildlife habitat services may include:
-
Native grass installation
-
Prairie grass establishment
-
Wildflower installation
-
Nesting cover establishment
-
Pheasant habitat improvements
-
Turkey habitat improvements
-
Waterfowl habitat improvements
-
Wetland-edge habitat work
-
Food source development
-
Vegetation management
-
Brush and overgrowth management
-
Trail and access improvements
-
Habitat maintenance
-
Seasonal mowing
-
Property consulting
-
Long-term habitat planning
Waterfowl Habitat Improvement
Quality waterfowl habitat depends on much more than simply having water on the property.
Wetlands, ponds, marshes, surrounding vegetation, food sources, and undisturbed cover can all play a role in how ducks and other waterfowl use an area.
Pro Plots can help landowners evaluate opportunities around existing water features and surrounding acreage to create more useful wildlife habitat.
Depending on the property, improvements may focus on:
The goal is to work with the features already present on your property and identify practical ways to improve them.
Turkey Habitat Improvement
Wild turkeys benefit from diverse properties that provide a combination of food, cover, nesting opportunities, open areas, and timber.
A property consisting entirely of mature woods or open agricultural ground may lack some of the diversity turkeys use throughout the year.
Pro Plots can help create and maintain habitat features designed to add that variety.
Turkey habitat projects may include:
Creating different types of habitat across the same property can provide wildlife with more options throughout changing seasons.
Pheasant Habitat Installation
Pheasants rely heavily on quality grassland and cover.
Properties with open agricultural acreage, unused fields, field edges, or other available ground may have opportunities for establishing thicker nesting and escape cover.
Pro Plots can help landowners establish and maintain habitat designed to create more useful areas for pheasants and other upland wildlife.
Pheasant habitat improvements may include:
A successful habitat project should consider how food, nesting cover, winter cover, and surrounding land all work together.
Native Prairie Grass & Wildlife Cover
Native and prairie grasses can be an important component of wildlife habitat.
Strategically placed grass plantings can provide nesting areas, screening, security cover, and greater habitat diversity.
These plantings may be particularly useful in:
Pro Plots can help with site preparation, planting, establishment, and continued maintenance.
Wildflower & Pollinator Habitat
Wildflower plantings can add another layer of diversity to your property.
In addition to improving the appearance of the land, wildflower areas can provide habitat for pollinators, insects, birds, and other wildlife.
These areas can be incorporated alongside native grasses, field edges, food sources, and other habitat improvements.
The result can be a property with greater plant diversity and more wildlife value throughout the year.
Food Sources for Wildlife
Cover is only one component of productive wildlife habitat.
Strategically planned food sources can complement nesting cover, wetlands, grasslands, and other habitat features.
Pro Plots provides food plot design and installation and can incorporate food sources into a broader wildlife habitat plan.
Rather than placing a plot wherever open ground happens to exist, we can evaluate how the food source fits into the overall property.
Habitat Installation From Start to Finish
Establishing new wildlife habitat often requires more than spreading seed.
Proper preparation can make a significant difference in the success of a planting.
Depending on the project, Pro Plots can assist with:
-
Site evaluation
-
Vegetation management
-
Mowing
-
Site preparation
-
Soil preparation
-
Soil testing
-
Seeding
-
Planting
-
Establishment
-
Follow-up maintenance
We help landowners move from an idea to an actual improvement on the ground.
Wildlife Habitat Maintenance
Habitat management does not end once an area is planted.
Without proper maintenance, unwanted vegetation can begin competing with desirable plants and habitat quality can change over time.
Pro Plots offers ongoing habitat and property maintenance depending on the needs of the property.
Maintenance services may include:
Whether you need a one-time project or continued help maintaining your property, we can develop a plan that works for you.
Turn Underused Ground Into Wildlife Habitat
Many properties contain acres that provide little value to the owner or wildlife.
An unused field, wetland edge, overgrown area, or difficult-to-maintain section of land may have the potential to become something much more useful.
Depending on the property, these areas may be converted or improved with:
-
Prairie grasses
-
Native vegetation
-
Wildflowers
-
Nesting cover
-
Wildlife food sources
-
Habitat transitions
-
Improved field edges
If you have an area of your property you are not sure what to do with, Pro Plots can help evaluate the possibilities.
Habitat Consulting & Property Planning

Fields
-
Timber
