Wetlands Mitigation & Ecological Restoration

Westwind Contracting is proud of its role as a leader in wetlands mitigation and ecological restoration. As the wetlands have been drained and altered to accommodate human needs the unanticipated result of an ecological imbalance was created. The absence of wetlands not only altered the patterns of migratory birds and deprived wildlife of food and habitat, but also affected local climates and fresh water sources.

Westwind performs both wetland restoration and wetland creation:

  • Restoration rehabilitates a degraded wetland or reestablishes a wetland that has been destroyed. This takes place on land that was, or still is, wetland.
  • Creation is the construction of a wetland on a site that can support and sustain a wetland but was not and has never been wetland. The creation of a wetland is usually done to treat wastewater, storm water, acid mine drainage or agricultural runoff.

Westwind has completed several mitigation and restoration projects. For photos from past Westwind Wetlands Mitigation & Ecological Restoration projects, click here.
