Restoration
Brinkman & Associates recognizes that healthy ecosystem function is a foundation for sustainability, and integrates ecosystem restoration goals into all silviculture and land management activities. Whether in an urban development setting, along infrastructure corridors, or in forest ecosystems, restoration can help to sustain current ecological productivity, and restore it in damaged areas. Restoration designs, which use native species and recreate local ecosystem relationships, not only provide ecological value, but can also minimize ongoing maintenance costs and reduce the use of water, fertilizers and other energy and materials.
Information on some of the restoration projects we have done is available on the urban restoration reference website
Forest Restoration
Brinkman & Associates regards ecological restoration in forest environments as a keystone of sustainable management. Properly undertaken silviculture will not only establish the next timber crop, but also assist in the maintenance or restoration of forest ecosystems.
Where specific damage has occurred, Brinkman undertakes targeted restoration treatments, including:
- Design and installation of slope stabilization treatments using engineered and bioengineered structures
- Design and installation of stream channels where rerouting is necessary to accommodate changes in land use or to minimize slope stability problems
- Re-establishment of streambank and riparian area stability and vegetation complexes
- Stand thinning and other treatments designed to maintain or restore desirable species complexes
- Re-establishment of vegetation and forest species on old forest roads, landings and other denuded areas
