 Restoring aquatic resources is rapidly becoming one of the nation’s top priorities. This requires cleaning up contaminated sediments, replacing or enhancing deteriorated habitats, and restoring the chemical, physical and biological components of damaged ecosystems. Organizations must mitigate adverse impacts of projects on the environment, particularly wetlands and watersheds, all while addressing the needs of both nature and society.

Our Approach
Malcolm Pirnie follows a three-step process to developing a successful ecosystem restoration plan: understanding the ecosystem’s natural potential, developing achievable goals, and designing for sustainability. Throughout these three steps, we leverage a diverse mix of scientific and engineering skills — from the earliest planning stage to post-implementation monitoring.
Because public support for your restoration project can mean the difference between success and failure, we pay special attention to the community’s concerns. Coordinating with the affected stakeholders helps build the support needed to get your project moving and ensure the long-term protection of the restored area.
The result is the successful revitalization of the ecosystem, with diverse, productive communities of plants and animals that provide significant ecological and social benefits.
Proven Experience
Our planners, scientists, and engineers have worked with many clients and stakeholder groups to plan and implement successful restoration projects in the watershed and our communities’ streams, lakes and rivers. Here are a few highlights:
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Cold Spring, NY
New York City Department of Environmental Protection, Brooklyn, NY
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, Kalamazoo, MI
