About

About MNL MNL is an ecological restoration and environmental services firm that partners with clean energy developers to integrate renewable infrastructure with restorative land management. Founded in 1998, MNL delivers end-to-end services that support the full lifecycle of renewable energy projects with decades of experience from site assessment and permitting support to installation and long-term vegetation management. We specialize in native seeding, pollinator habitat establishment, erosion control, wetland and shoreline restoration, and invasive species management. Red Rock Fire, a department of MNL, offers prescribed burning expertise and wildfire suppression experience, providing fire services including Wildfire Management Plans to energy partners across the Midwest region. For utility-scale solar projects, MNL provides agrivoltaic design and implementation, native vegetation establishment, and ongoing operations and maintenance (O&M) programs that improve site stability, biodiversity, and regulatory compliance. Our conservation grazing programs offer low-carbon vegetation management alternatives that reduce mowing costs and enhance ecological outcomes. MNL also operates native seed and plant production facilities, supplying regionally adapted grasses, sedges, and wildflowers tailored to project specifications and habitat goals. By combining ecology, field execution, and renewable energy project expertise, MNL helps clean energy firms meet environmental performance standards, strengthen ESG outcomes, and maximize long-term land value.
