Ecosystem Restoration
Trained in a wide range of environmental and land use disciplines, ICF Jones & Stokes' Ecosystem Restoration Group helps develop fully functioning, self-sustaining habitats that successfully meet project goals and client needs. Our restoration specialists are highly experienced at restoring many unique habitats: aquatic, fish, and threatened and endangered species habitat; freshwater and estuarine wetlands; riparian, riverine, and vernal pool habitat; and oak woodland and upland habitat.
