Resources Management:
Native-Plant-Community Restoration
 Restoring
native landscapes that can survive without intensive maintenance
requires both a big-picture approach to ecology and an understanding
of the intricacies of plant culture.
In
designing creative solutions to degraded landscapes, Barr’s
ecologists and landscape architects consider how living organisms
interact with soil, light, water, and air, and how surrounding
development affects a natural area’s integrity. The results:
landscapes that are both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally
sound.
Drawing
on years of field experience, Barr pays close attention to
specifying proper site preparation, installation, and long-term
maintenance regimes to best ensure that native-plant-community
restorations survive, beautifully, long into the future.
From
lakeshores to oak savannas, Barr can assist in assessing your
plant communities and devising a plan to restore their ecological
function. Our services include:
- Natural resource inventories
- Native-plant-community restoration plans for lakeshores,
streams, wetlands, prairies, savannas, and forests
