Natural Areas Restoration and Management

Analysis + Monitoring

Natural Areas Restoration and Management applies a holistic approach to the renewal of degraded plant communities and watersheds and provides a guide for maintaining the short and long term stability of an ecosystem. KDG conducts analyses of historic conditions using aerial photography, land survey notes and other historic sources. An analysis of existing and future conditions includes both ecological and hydrological assessments using field monitoring, inventory, GIS technology, and modeling. We also provide management plans and monitoring of completed projects.

KDG performs many environmental and regulatory driven reviews including:

• EAW
• EIS
• AUAR
• TMDL's
• Wetland Delineation
• MLCCS
