The replacement or enhancement of natural communities impacted by permit-authorized actions or damaged due to historic land use practices demands a comprehensive understanding of complex ecological interactions. Princeton Hydro's experienced team of biological and earth scientists and resource engineers works together to develop projects tailored to each site's unique landscape in order to maximize habitat opportunities and improve ecosystem services.
Princeton Hydro's impeccable reputation for habitat restoration extends from wetlands, lakes, and stream corridors to storm management facilities, meadows, and upland forests. Sound projects begin with accurate and thorough site characterization - a facet that we emphasize on every project. Princeton Hydro's prominent role in wetland mitigation is demonstrated by our participation in the development of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Regionalized Water Budget Manual For Compensatory Wetland Mitigation Sites in New Jersey (2008) for which we furnished data sets, provided insight regarding our approach to wetland mitigation projects, and served on a panel of experts. Our habitat mitigation project experience is extensive and encompasses pre-project assessment, planning, landscape design, permitting, construction, and post-implementation monitoring and maintenance.
