Ecological restoration reestablishes the health balance of ecological systems that have been degraded or destroyed. Ecological restoration can be adapted to suit every habitat and ecological setting but requires an adaptive and creative approach for each site. Post monitoring is very important. It allows the practitioner to determine a site's response to practices being used and to develop alternatives if the site does not meet the restoration goals expected. Some examples of sites Semper Fi has managed include wetlands, prairies, woodlands and streambank or riparian areas. Restoring a site’s ecology is extremely important to plant, animal and insect communities that rely on these spaces for survival. Additionally, restoring and managing restored sites creates a space for recreation and learning and supports a community’s preservation of resources by aiding in water filtration, while reducing runoff and flood risk by increasing water absorption, supporting local pollinators, improving soil quality and much more.
Semper Fi restoration crews have over a decade of documented success in restoring, repairing and rebuilding Midwestern ecosystems. Some common practices of the restoration crews include prescribed burn management, the implementation of various methods to remove invasive species, reintroducing native species diversity with seeding or plant installations, selective tree and shrub removal/thinning, post-construction restoration and changes of land use. Site assessments maintenance and monitoring helps to evaluate and ensure a restorations success. In addition to restoration, we specialize in the reduction of soil erosion through streambank and shoreline stabilization.
