How We Do It
—
Every project presents unique challenges.
We thoughtfully plan, manage and execute from start to finish.
A comprehensive site assessment of existing ecological conditions is paired with client goals and regulatory requirements. We facilitate the approval process and professionally represent projects and client interests at public hearings with our experienced team.
Restoration designs and land management plans are developed to enhance the ecological integrity of the land. In hundreds of projects, our team has demonstrated that iconic views and ecological integrity are not mutually exclusive. The management of invasive plants, coupled with the design and implementation of meaningful mitigation plans is at the core of our work.
Our environmental technicians understand the permit requirements to ensure regulatory compliance throughout the life of the project. Professional monitoring, active management and maintenance typically involve a three-year restoration program.

Join Our team
—
Our company culture reflects our commitment to what we do, and why we do it. We look for motivated self-starters, thoughtful collaborators and talented people who want to make a difference in a vibrant, team-friendly environment.
Design
This is where restoration science and creative problem-solving meet environmental regulations and client expectations. No two projects are ever quite the same. We look for designers, biologists, and wildlife specialists to help us tackle the unique challenges and nuances of every project with creativity and innovation.
Build
Where it becomes real. Planned, careful and deliberate site work applies our unique designs and specialized methods to the reality of the land, and creates a better world. This is science, not landscaping. We look for project managers, nursery management, crew leaders, equipment operators and environmental technicians to help us implement our plans and bring them to life.
Business
We are a design-build business devoted to ecological restoration and client satisfaction. Behind the science, creativity, and construction is a humming business. Each role in our collaborative culture is vital to achieving success. We look for talented and dedicated business people in client services, administration, finance, project estimating, and leadership to help us make it all come together.
