RESTORATION

Native Warm Season Prairie Restoration involves reintroducing native grasses and wildflowers to recreate historic grassland ecosystems, aiming to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services lost due to human activities such as agriculture and urbanization. This restoration process typically includes site assessment, seed collection, planting, and ongoing management to restore and conserve native prairie habitats.

Stream and Floodplain Restoration involves restoring natural stream channels and adjacent floodplain areas to improve water quality, reduce flooding, and enhance habitat for aquatic and terrestrial species. This process includes activities such as channel realignment, riparian vegetation establishment, and floodplain reconnection, often requiring collaboration between stakeholders and experts to achieve successful outcomes.

Wetland Restoration involves reviving degraded or lost wetland ecosystems through activities like hydrological restoration and native vegetation planting to enhance biodiversity and ecological resilience. Collaboration among stakeholders and experts is crucial for successful projects that contribute to conserving water resources, improving water quality, and providing habitat for diverse plant and animal species.
