Ecological Restoration
Ecological restoration is critical when natural processes are disrupted. It can prevent further damage to the environment and promote wildlife and vegetation. Any type of development would be candidate for some form of ecological restoration.
Green Side Up Environmental Services provides ecological restoration of aquatic and terrestrial environments. Our aim is to provide workable solutions to ecological and conservation issues by using survey, monitoring and experimental methods. With over 15 years of experience, we will provide the most practical and healthy solution to any restoration project. Green Side Up Environmental Services has worked with and continues to work with a variety of clients on projects.
Examples of ecological restoration projects include:
- Shoreline stabilization, stream banks and riparian zones
- Erosion and sediment control
- Pit rehabilitation, hydro-seeding
- Woodlands, prairie and meadows restoration
- Amphibian ponds, farm ponds, natural ponds and storm water ponds
- Native plant species, plant rescues (salvages)
- Invasive species removal
- Constructed wetlands, floating islands
- Live crib walls, streambed fish structures (Vortex weirs & rock vane structures, riffles, rock groins)
- Sod mats
- Rip-rap and armour stone
GSU can also work with landowners and farms to develop different restoration plans and coach or represent the landowner through grant application processes that may be available to you. Projects such as wetlands, fisheries, shorelines, and reforestation can qualify for funding from one source or another.
The North American Native Plant Society (NANPS) awarded one of GSU's clients with the Rural Reclamation Award for work GSU completed on their property. This award reconizes plant communities and habitat creation, suitability, diversity, genetic provenance, ethics and aesthetics.
