DAVEY MITIGATION

Accelerating our efforts along Virginia's shorelines with this great addition to the Native Shorelines, a Davey company team!

Construction at Ashland Mill Dam on the South Anna River is off to a great start! Check out this video for a quick update on the dam removal and what's to come. It's worth mentioning again that we are thrilled to be working with Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc. (WSSI), a Davey Tree Company, Randolph-Macon College, Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, and Backwater Environmental to transform the former impoundment back to a free-flowing river. For more information on the project, here is a link to a recent press release from RMC and DWR: https://lnkd.in/ewNxYU8p Video credit: Love Affair Creative #damremoval #mitigationbanking #restoration #fishpassage #southannariver

It's coming down! After years of hard work and planning, we are finally getting to work on the removal of the Ashland Mill Dam, which has stood as an impediment to a free-flowing South Anna River for over a hundred years.

Welcome to the Davey Family, Riverine! We're so excited to have you on board!

Construction begins this month at the recently approved South Anna River at Ashland Mill Dam (SARAMD) Mitigation Bank. Check out this video for a quick update on the historic site and the significance of this restoration project. We are thrilled to be working with Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc. (WSSI), a Davey Tree Company, Randolph-Macon College, Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, and Backwater Environmental to help remove the dam and transform the former impoundment back to a free-flowing river. Stay tuned for more information as construction gets underway! #damremoval #mitigationbanking #restoration #fishpassage #southannariver Video credit: Love Affair Creative

It’s hard to believe we started the Glenmore Nutrient Bank three years ago this month!  This section of Bren’s Run was impacted from decades of farming activities. As can be seen in the pre-restoration photo(s), this resulted in steep banks 3- to 5-feet incised, undercut, with loose, eroding soil, that caused channel abandonment and tortuous meanders in some locations. Working with Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc. (WSSI), a Davey Tree Company and KBS Earthworks, natural channel design techniques were designed and implemented to include rock sills, in-stream habitat log sills, toe logs, and modified cross-vanes. Construction was completed in the fall of 2023 and planting was completed this past winter. The stream is half-way through its first growing season. Anyone in our business knows that the restoration process can be challenging and takes time. That time and effort is so satisfying when we see our efforts pay off with a stabilized stream that no longer is actively eroding and providing numerous ecological benefits for the environment and surrounding communities. #streamrestoration #waterquality #ChesapeakeBay

So great to see our Spout Springs Mitigation Bank under construction. We love showcasing our team’s efforts and on-the-ground progress, but as with any restoration project, there is always so much more to the project than just the act of restoration itself. The Spout Springs Mitigation Bank property has a variety of ecosystems such as headwater streams and rock outcroppings that provide habitat for species like these and many others.  Our ability to perform watershed-scale restoration will help to reintegrate once degraded sections of stream with the intact ecosystems on the remainder of the property, resulting in measurable ecological gains. #blackracer #whippoorwill #watershedscale #streamrestoration #mitigationbanking
