Some of the Ecosystems We Restore
Prairies
Some of the rarest ecosystem types in Canada – from the foothills of the Rockies east to Manitoba and in southern Ontario – are prairies and we restore them all.
Aquatic and Riparian Systems
Diverse and varied in character. From wetlands, to river systems, to ponds, to lakes we are able to assist.
Woodlands
We work in all forest types, from boreal spruce peatlands, to alpine meadow, to Carolinian forest.
Peatlands
One of the frequently overlooked carbon sinks, peatlands are challenging yet important ecosystems to restore but we are up to the challenge.
