Mitigation sites can help to offset unavoidable im

Mitigation sites can help to offset unavoidable impacts to sensitive areas, such as wetlands. In these photos, Shraddha and Annamaria inspect the plants that are scheduled to be installed at a mitigation site that is compensation for road construction impacts at a nearby wetland. Ensuring the correct native species of plants are chosen, and the correct spacing is used when installing the plants helps to ensure high survival rates after a site is established.

Sometimes during a project it becomes necessary to

Sometimes during a project it becomes necessary to reroute stormwater to prevent logistical or safety issues due to excessive flooding. When modifying a natural system in this way, hydrologic monitoring wells can be a very useful tool to understand how these changes are impacting wetlands. These wells are installed down into the ground, below the ground surface. The portion of the well below the ground surface has perforations that allow groundwater to seep into the installed tube. Surveyors are then able to measure how far beneath the ground surface the water table is. By taking a baseline measurement and then comparing it to groundwater levels after rerouting stormwater, it gives a clearer picture of how subsurface hydrology is being affected by a project.

Mature forests offer excellent habitat for a wide variety of wildlife species. In this photo, Annamaria measures the diameter of the trees in this forest to determine if Marbled Murrelets may be found here.

These polygonum flowers add a great diversity of plant species across this wetland mitigation. With all the rain lately our chest waders have been indispensable at some of our project sites!
