Sustainable Land and Water Resources Restoration: Assessment, Planning and Design

At NSD, we believe that everything is connected, and that we have the opportunity to be agents of change, to improve ecosystem function and our quality of life on Earth. We also believe bold action, supported by sound science, is needed to shift current trajectories toward functional healthy environments. With focus on aquatic habitat restoration and sustainable river management, we are involved in large landscape scale restoration of natural processes, wise use of water, and applied conservation methods for agriculture and forestry.
