Biologists at DuBois and Associates provide project proponents, planners, and private homeowners with plans that conserve, create, restore or enhance aquatic and terrestrial wildlife habitat while at the same time accomplishing the objectives of proposed development.
HABITAT CONSTRUCTION, RESTORATION AND MANAGEMENT
Biologists at DuBois and Associates provide project proponents, planners, and private homeowners with plans that conserve, create, restore or enhance aquatic and terrestrial wildlife habitat, while simultaneously accomplishing the objectives of proposed development. Our biologists provide recommendations on plans and development designs, prepare mitigation plans, provide expertise in wildlife and habitat science, and serve as key field-personnel that directly create, restore and enhance the functional ecological values of a land area in the field. These tasks include coordination with regulatory agency personnel in designing and proposing a habitat mitigation or conservation plan that is acceptable for a development project approval, while also ensuring appropriate habitat protection and management for a documented species.
DuBois and Associates provides habitat management measures designed to restore or enhance the ecological functions of a land area for various floral or faunal species of interest. Representative habitat management measures include:
-
Invasive vegetation removal and management;
-
Reversing hydrological modifications (remove drain tiles/filling ditches);
-
Snake hibernacula (den) creation;
-
Sustainable forestry to promote canopy modification;
-
Fire introduction;
-
Native warm season grass plantings;
-
Re-vegetating wetlands;
-
Riparian buffer establishment;
-
Installing deer exclosures;
-
Vernal pool creation/shallow water excavation;
-
Habitat conservation plans;
-
Wildlife connectivity culvert design;
-
Nest box construction and placement
