Ecological Restoration

Ecological restoration is the process of assisting the recovery of ecosystems that have been degraded, damaged, or destroyed by human activities or natural events. This practice involves restoring native vegetation, reestablishing natural water flows, and enhancing habitat conditions to support the return of wildlife and ecological processes. In landscaping, ecological restoration can include efforts such as reforestation, wetland restoration, and the rehabilitation of riparian zones. The goal of ecological restoration is to return ecosystems to a healthy, functioning state that supports biodiversity, resilience, and sustainability. By incorporating ecological restoration into landscape design, landscapers can help repair damaged ecosystems, promote environmental stewardship, and contribute to the long-term health of the planet.
