Check out this tutorial from TREEADS if you're involved in wildfire restoration assessments. #wildfire #climatechange

🌱🔑 Unlocking the Power of Restoration Assessments! 📖 Understanding the success of #restoration efforts is crucial for improving future initiatives. This tutorial segment delves into methods for evaluating outcomes and gaining insights that enhance restoration practices.👉 https://lnkd.in/d6hm_7SS 🔥 In wildfire restoration, the focus is on understanding the impacts of wildfires, the significance of restoration, and navigating relevant legislation. Post-fire assessments look at damage severity, soil erosion, and habitat loss.🌳 Restoration techniques include erosion control, revegetation, and innovative reforestation technologies, such as nursery practices and direct seeding. Τhe video tutorial, is part of the TREEADS project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 101036926. 🌎 ✅ Monitoring restored areas ensures success and supports the implementation of long-term management strategies. 📩 Subscribe to stay updated on the latest in restoration and wildfire recovery techniques: https://lnkd.in/dxBvRv76 #reforestation #wildfiremanagement #environmentalprojects #sustainability #TREEADS

The Elliott Bay Seawall Replacement and Habitat Restoration project in Seattle shows how urban development and environmental stewardship can exist harmoniously. Faced with a deteriorating seawall at risk of failure and a disrupted migratory path for endangered salmon, the City of Seattle partnered with Anchor QEA to act.  As a partner in this effort, we contributed to the design, environmental planning and permitting, and construction of a 7,000-foot-long seawall that not only enhances seismic stability but also reimagines the shoreline as a thriving environment through the development of a fish passageway and a pocket beach. Juvenile salmon are now navigating the corridor and feeding along the shoreline, and Elliott Bay is showing signs of a restored ecosystem such as increased insect and invertebrate taxa richness and density. We're proud to continue partnering with the University of Washington on monitoring efforts to ensure this transformation thrives.

The first step of any peatland restoration project? An on site feasibility Study! By visiting the site for this highly critical survey, we confirm the presence of any and all mapped features, checking the accuracy of data collected by remote sensing and establishing the eligibility of the project. Peat depths are recorded, condition categories reviewed and, herbivore impacts assessed. This forms the first stage of our comprehensive, intelligent approach. In doing so we mitigate any potential risks thereby giving landowers complete peace of mind and ensuring all project deliverables are captured and achieved.

Following the work to Dunston Beck, we have seen natural erosion taking place as a result of heavy rainfall events. It is interesting to see how the beck is developing with the various grades of sediment, offering shelter for aquatic species to forage and breed. Riffles and the beck’s natural flow design enables it to be self-cleaning, reducing the need for regular maintenance within the project. The beck will continue to develop, including the spread of aquatic species from upstream. This will naturally reduce the erosion over time and offer greater shelter for the beck's water dwellers. #dunstonbeck #environment #nature #watercourses #aquaticlife
