Invasive species management

Corvus LLC provides helicopter support for wildlife management, research, and conservation operations across a wide range of environments. Helicopters allow wildlife professionals to safely access remote areas, conduct surveys, and perform capture and management operations that would otherwise be difficult or impossible from the ground.

Our operations are supported by highly experienced wildlife crews with decades of field experience and thousands of successful animal captures and handling operations. Corvus works closely with wildlife agencies, researchers, and conservation organizations to ensure safe, efficient, and professional wildlife management activities.

Why Helicopters for Wildlife Management

Helicopters provide a uniquely effective platform for wildlife management combining the range to cover vast landscapes with the low-speed, low-altitude precision required for observation, survey, and capture work. From open rangeland to dense brush and rugged backcountry, aerial operations enable access and maneuverability that ground teams simply cannot match.

Corvus crews have experience working with all North American big game species, as well as raptors, marine mammals, aquatic wildlife, and reptiles including alligators. For capture operations, helicopters allow precise pursuit and positioning across any terrain making them essential for live capture programs, chemical immobilization, net gunning, and drive netting operations. Invasive species control, including aerial gunning for feral hog eradication, demands the stable platform and controlled maneuverability that helicopters uniquely provide.

Corvus LLC partners with state and federal wildlife agencies, tribal governments, conservation organizations, and research institutions to support responsible wildlife management and conservation efforts across North America.
