Restoration services for ecosystems across the globe
BPC specializes in restoring damaged ecosystems. Our experts carefully analyze the site, considering its unique natural history, climate, composition, and native biota. Our diverse team has experience with ecosystem around the world, from Malagasy rainforests to Great Lakes rare wetlands. We then create a detailed plan to repair the damage and help the ecosystem recover and regain function.
Our goal is to create healthy, thriving ecosystems that benefit both people and wildlife. We use a variety of techniques and tools to restore habitats, improve water quality, promote biodiversity, and balance development with preservation.

Our expertise includes…
- Ecosystem Restoration: Despite existing environmental regulations, past human activities have significantly degraded many ecosystems. This degradation has led to negative impacts on biodiversity, water quality, flooding, and recreational opportunities. BPC specializes in restoring damaged habitats to improve ecosystem health and benefit both humans and wildlife.
- Climate Change Resilience: Communities worldwide are increasingly facing the challenges of climate change. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and other climate-related impacts threaten both human and ecological systems. BPC works with clients to develop environmentally sustainable solutions that address these challenges and build resilience.
- Multi-Benefit Projects: Complying with a complex web of federal, state, and local environmental regulations can often delay projects and increase costs. Instead of viewing these regulations as obstacles, BPC focuses on turning them into opportunities. We help clients create multi-benefit projects that integrate environmental mitigation measures, resulting in more efficient project delivery and outcomes that benefit both the environment and the community.
Our Services:
- Ecological Restoration Planning Design: Creating a thriving ecosystem requires a deep understanding of its unique characteristics. BPC’s team of experts, including ecologists, biologists, landscape architects, and engineers, combine their local knowledge with your specific goals, budget, and timeline to develop effective restoration plans. Whether you need a comprehensive landscape-scale plan or a targeted site-specific management strategy, BPC can tailor our approach to meet your needs. Our designs may include site grading, native plant restoration, erosion control techniques, and invasive species management. Drawing on our extensive experience in implementing restoration projects, we ensure that our plans are practical and effective. Let’s work together to restore nature’s balance.
- Habitat Mitigation, Management Planning: BPC believes in a collaborative approach to addressing habitat impacts. We work closely with our clients throughout the project lifecycle, from initial planning to permitting, to identify potential issues and develop practical, effective mitigation strategies. Our habitat mitigation plans are designed to align with regional conservation goals, ensuring that our efforts contribute to broader ecosystem restoration efforts. By going beyond regulatory compliance, we create mitigation solutions that provide multiple benefits for both the environment and the community.
- Natural/Green Infrastructure: BPC’s Green Infrastructure practice is rooted in understanding and mimicking the intricate balance found in natural ecosystems. We combine scientific expertise, practical engineering, and innovative thinking to create GI solutions that are both effective and sustainable. As a fully integrated firm, we offer a unique advantage: the ability to handle every aspect of a project, from initial planning to long-term maintenance. This comprehensive approach ensures that our GI solutions are well-designed, permitted, and implemented with the highest quality standards.
- A core focus of our work is restoring degraded ecosystems. By repairing broken hydrologic cycles through strategic use of soils, plants, and human intervention, we can:
- Reduce stormwater runoff
- Increase evapotranspiration
- Improve soil health
- Recharge groundwater supplies
- Enhance food webs
- Mitigate heat effects
- Build overall ecosystem resilience
