ESA - Habitat Restoration

The goal of ESA, Inc., in all habitat restoration activities is to emulate a natural, fully-functioning, self-regulating system that is integrated with the ecological landscape in which it occurs. This requires renewing and maintaining ecosystem health.

Habitat restoration involves reconstruction of antecedent physical hydrologic and morphologic conditions, chemical cleanup or adjustment of the environment, and biological manipulation including revegetation and the reintroduction of absent or currently nonviable native species.

The end result of these ecological restoration processes is to provide society with a range of sustainable benefits that accompany a restored ecosystem and to do so more quickly than would be possible under a natural recovery process.

The ecological restoration process at ESA, Inc., involves:

Determination of Project Goals, Objectives, and Site -Use Policies
Preliminary Site Research
- Site Inventory and Analysis
- Development of Ecosystem Models
- Location of Material Sources
Creation of Planting Plans
- Ecosystem Restoration Goals and Objectives Based on Ecosystem Models
- Species to be Planted
- Material Type
- Planting Techniques
Site Preparation
Preparation of Restoration Plan for Animals and Insects
Plan Implementation
Ecosystem Management
Continued Monitoring to ensure objectives are met
