Often the intent of the designer is lost
during the construction phase of restoration
projects and goals and objectives sought by
the project sponsors are not achieved. In
order to enhance quality and provide value
engineering to our projects, Ecotone
offers construction services to implement
wetland and stream restoration projects. Our
team of experienced designers work hand in
hand with our construction personnel to
assure project success, and usually
realizing significant cost-savings over
traditional bid procurement methods. |
|
Since 2000,
Ecotone has developed
numerous successful wetland and forest
mitigation sites throughout Maryland.
Currently, we have several sites available
for reforestation and wetland mitigation
credit within the Central Maryland region.
Stream restoration is also available in
selected watersheds, and
site specific wetland and forest mitigation
site development can be provided.
