Ecological Restoration

• Aquatic habitats: Rivers, Streams, Ponds, Lakes, wetlands
• Terrestrial plant communities
• Burned area rehabilitation
• Anadromous fisheries enhancement
• Fish passage
• Culvert sizing
• Road based erosion controls by drainage improvements
• Riparian habitat: streambank and flood terrace communities
• Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHA)

We use hydrology, ecology and construction to re-build ecosystems that benefit humans and wildlife and result in water quality and biodiversity.

We start with a site analysis to varify that what we see on the ground matches maps and data. We look for a chronology of land use events that resulted in the current condition and imagine what it was like prior to human influence. 

We specialize in erosion control using bioengineering techniques that employ natural resources such as willow, wood, boulder and brush. These techniques often save money while offering the best opportunity for slope stability and bio-regeneration.

Terrestrial habitat restoration may be implemented for a variety of purposes including mine reclamation, burned area rehabilitation, revegetation, and erosion control. In our restoration we use native species and incorporate concepts such as infiltration basins and hydrologic connectivity to insure long term success and low maintenance.
