Streams are vital for water supply, wildlife habitat, flood prevention, transportation, and recreation. A healthy stream system is the lifeblood of a watershed. Federal, state, and municipal governments now recognize the importance of a healthy stream system in improving watershed quality and are focusing on renewing the health of degraded stream systems.

Our multidisciplinary team—which can include professional engineers, hydrologists, ecologists, geologists, and landscape architects—provides comprehensive stream restoration services that range from assessment and regulatory agency coordination to design, construction, and post-project environmental monitoring.
