Habitat Restoration

Restoration of degraded habitats has become a national priority. In Southern California, less than five percent of historic riparian habitat remains and many watersheds have been degraded by a variety of anthropogenic disturbances. Aspen`s qualified team of biologists, ecologists, planners and other scientists have extensive practical knowledge in the restoration of degraded ecosystems throughout California. Aspen comprehensively assesses restoration goals, opportunities, and constraints and prepares plans and design documents to optimize ecosystem function and achieve community and species diversity goals that are consistent with existing and future environmental conditions. We also apply our expertise to the preparation of Watershed Management Plans and Special Area Management Plans that allow local and regional organizations to prioritize and plan specific restoration projects.
