Ideal Land Management

Brian Kozlowski owns and operates Ideal Land Management. Brian has a background in wildlife ecology and as a passionate hunter and conservationist he has strong ties to the Wisconsin landscape and land ethic culture.  Ideal’s specialty is forestry management.  In the upper Midwest, restoration of neglected woodlands often begins with the removal of woody invasive species such as buckthorn and Asian honeysuckle. Brian and his crew are highly skilled operators of forestry mowing/mulching equipment. Managing this type of equipment in complex and dynamic landscapes in a multitude of site conditions requires hundreds of hours of operational experience and well-trained eyes. Brian’s crew also runs modern, top-notch equipment. They know how to tread lightly in sensitive woodlands, and they know how to discern native trees and shrubs from invasive woody plants from inside the cab of the machine during operations. This combination of equipment operation skills and restoration knowledge makes the Ideal Land Management team a valued partner with NRE.
