LARSON HELICOPTERS LLC

Larson Helicopters LLC specializes in aerial application services for ecological management and land restoration, primarily conducting herbicide spraying and vegetation control operations across sensitive natural areas. The company leverages precision aerial platforms to target invasive species such as cattails and other noxious plants, supporting habitat restoration goals for federal land management agencies. Their technical expertise includes calibrated spray systems, GPS-guided flight planning, and compliance with environmental regulations during operations in wetlands, prairies, and forested corridors. A key differentiator is their ability to execute complex, low-altitude missions in constrained environments while adhering to strict USDA and DOI protocols for chemical application and wildlife protection. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Sat Team 2 FWS program, delivering vegetation management services aligned with National Wildlife Refuge system objectives. They also support the Department of the Interior in fire mitigation and habitat restoration initiatives, particularly through aerial herbicide applications that reduce fuel loads and promote native plant regeneration. Their work is often tied to ratification of prior unauthorized commitments, indicating established trust and responsiveness in urgent ecological response scenarios. Their primary industry focus is on NAICS 115112 (Soil Preparation, Planting, and Cultivating) and 115310 (Support Activities for Forestry), where they provide specialized ecological intervention services rather than traditional agricultural or forestry practices. This positions them as a niche provider in federal land management, bridging environmental remediation with aviation logistics. Larson Helicopters LLC is a small, privately held entity based in Perham, Minnesota, with no federal certifications on record. Their geographic presence is centered in the Upper Midwest, where they serve federal land agencies requiring agile, localized aerial support for conservation and invasive species control.
