ABOUT

Matt started Matthew Verson Vegetation Management (MVVM) in 2019 as the culmination of 20 years working in agriculture, horticulture, academia, and vegetation management. With several graduate degrees and certificates in Soils, Invasive Plant Control, Law, and Agricultural ecology, Matt knows that all of New England has been impacted by humans to some degree and benefits from sound management practices. From small yards to vast acres, a Vegetation Management Plan is critical. As a licensed and insured pesticide applicator with the highest regard for native plants, MVVM is equipped to apply “subtractive landscape editing” for towns, land trusts or private citizens seeking to steward their acreage. Matt loves to bike, fish and Cross country ski around New England with family and friends.
