Ecological Restoration
Ecological restoration is central to successful, dynamic, and productive communities.
AKRF helps our clients unlock the true potential of the natural resources under their jurisdiction by providing an interdisciplinary consultancy built to tackle today’s ecological challenges.
Our in-house team includes environmental scientists, ecologists, biologists, environmental toxicologists, statisticians, analysts, regulatory compliance specialists, and landscape architects who recognize the interrelationship of an ecosystem’s physical, chemical, and biological factors and can balance development needs with preservation.
We regularly contribute to the restoration and conservation of coastal, tidal, and forested wetlands as well as streams, marshes, oyster habitats, species, and more.
