Ecological Restoration
The creation, restoration, and maintenance of our ecosystems is imperative for the health and diversity of our waterways, wetlands, and open spaces.
Our hands-on, disciplined approach to ecological restoration pulls from extensive resources and capabilities, guiding projects from concept to completion. By weaving together the insights and expertise of our ecologists, scientists, engineers, surveyors, and more, we maximize restoration benefits, creating adaptive management plans that evaluate and react to actual field conditions. Open spaces are an essential aspect of our healthy environment, and as your partner, we’ll help ensure natural spaces and species have the ability to sustain us for generations to come.

Fort Sheridan Public Access Improvements
“I was always outside as a kid…playing in the creek, fishing, catching frogs. Later in life I decided to pursue a career working in nature. Turns out, I was able to find a career working in a field that I love, doing things I would do for free as a volunteer. There’s a tremendous amount of satisfaction in designing and implementing creative ecological solutions and restoring the land back to its natural state.”
