Low-tech, process-based restoration specialists with over a decade of combined experience building sustainable ecological solutions.
Low-Tech, Process-Based Restoration
Our approach focuses on working with natural processes rather than against them. By implementing structures like Beaver Dam Analogues (BDAs), Post-Assisted Log Structures (PALS), Zuni Bowls, and One Rock Dams, we help restore watershed function, improve habitat, and increase resilience to drought and flooding.
Methods
Beaver Dam Analogues
Mimicking natural beaver activity to restore stream function, slow water flow, and create diverse aquatic habitat.
PALS
Post-Assisted Log Structures create stable woody debris complexes for habitat enhancement and erosion control.
Zuni Bowls
Water harvesting and soil restoration structures that capture and infiltrate runoff, improving soil moisture.
Log Structures
Strategic placement of logs for erosion control, habitat enhancement, and increased channel complexity.
One Rock Dams
Low-impact flow management structures for erosion control, sediment retention, and water infiltration.
Custom Solutions
Unique combinations of structures tailored to your site’s specific needs, challenges, and restoration objectives.
