Site Assessments & Restoration Design

Understanding the unique features of a site and restoring degraded habitats has been a core service of Rain Shadow since its founding. We offer a wide variety of descriptive ecological work as well as restoration services such as ecological assessments, conservation management plans, invasive species monitoring and control, shoreline restoration, tree planting, native plant establishment, and long-term monitoring.
