Ecological restoration across British Columbia
Start with the site problem
Slope failure, compacted mine land, an eroding streambank and a damaged shoreline do not need the same treatment. We identify what is preventing recovery, then build the conditions in which natural processes can work again.
What needs repair?
Choose the closest site condition
Each service page connects the problem to appropriate methods, field evidence, and published technical references. If the site crosses categories, begin with an assessment.

Identify what is preventing recovery.
PES starts by identifying the physical or biological condition that is stopping recovery, addressing it directly, and supporting the next stage of succession.
How PES Reads a Site
Start with the limiting condition. Restoration starts by addressing the conditions that limit recovery, then monitoring how the site responds.
A clear next step
Not sure which service fits?
Send the location, current photos, a short site history and the outcome you need. PES can identify the questions that must be answered before a treatment is selected.

For engineering firms and prime contractors
Bring restoration into the project plan
Discuss assessment, treatment selection, implementation or crew support, and establishment monitoring as one coordinated scope. Agree interfaces with the lead designer and other specialists before field work.
