It’s found in the shade of a cottonwood tree and the slower water under a submerged log. It’s in the sound of a creek pulsing through summer and the splash of a spawning salmon in the fall.

With innovation and new technologies, we can calculate the ecological outcomes of restoration projects, allowing smarter restoration to happen faster.

Whether planting trees to cool streams, reintroducing river meanders, or creating log jams, we apply strategic solutions to improve water quality and restore critical habitat.
