Ecosystems are dynamic systems of balance, constantly responding to the pressures of climate, hydrology, and human influence. Restoring that balance requires more than planting trees or reshaping landforms—it demands an understanding of how ecological, cultural, and engineering factors work together to create long-term resilience.
That’s where our partners at SWCA Environmental Consultants come in. For more than four decades, SWCA has partnered with public and private clients to design, permit, and build ecological restoration projects that restore function and strengthen community resilience. Their ecosystem restoration practice integrates science, technology, and collaboration to achieve results that endure.
From dam removals and river restoration to living shorelines, wetland and stream mitigation, and habitat management planning, SWCA’s work helps reconnect waterways, improve fish passage, reduce flood risks, and enhance biodiversity, among many more benefits. Their team combines field-based expertise with advanced modeling, drone and satellite data, and machine learning to deliver precise, data-driven restoration strategies.
With over 680 river restoration design projects completed and more than 120 miles of rivers restored, SWCA’s record demonstrates the value of nature-based, science-led solutions. By aligning restoration with community values and climate adaptation goals, SWCA helps clients turn complex environmental challenges into measurable, lasting outcomes.
