Permaculture-Based Restoration
What is it?
Permaculture-Based restoration utilizes on-site resources to facilitate the remediation of disturbed habitats with little to no economic cost. Most of our restoration prescriptions require only hand-tools, on-site woody debris and native plants.
Example projects:
- Remediation of grading and development.
- Oak Woodland habitat restoration.
- Enhancement of riparian buffer zones.
- Forest margins and wildlife corridors.
Why it works.
The use of on-site resources and mimicking the environmental patterns of ecologically healthy landscapes facilitates natural processes.
- Decreased runoff and increase storm water infiltration.
- Recruitment of organic matter and development of topsoil.
- Establishment of vertical diversity within canopy layers.
- Support flora and fauna biodiversity.
How to get started.
- An assessments is made to determine the areas of concern.
- Design plans and timelines are established.
- Seasonally appropriate implementation occurs.
