Understanding the Environment, Accounting for Regulations
The Watershed Company scientists use the latest scientific methods to assess wetlands, streams, wildlife, fish, and trees. We can provide accurate documentation for permit approval and help design innovative, functional, and attractive mitigation and restoration plans that augment the property and ecological functions, and meet regulatory requirements, from permit submittal through construction.
The Watershed Company also leads the field in non-traditional methods of mitigation, including mitigation banking, in-lieu fee programs, and restoration credits.
