In nature, small changes can have big effects. In ecology projects, Equinox knows that details make all the difference.
Reliable data is our hallmark, and ecological knowledge is fundamental to much of what we do—whether it’s managing invasive species, analyzing wildlife habitats, or assessing streams and watersheds. We also have the permitting skills to put plans into action, and the monitoring capacity to measure a project’s success.
Streams & Wetland Mitigation
Wetlands and streams are essential to healthy ecosystems. Equinox has partnered with EW Solutions to work with both public and private entities to facilitate full stream and wetland delivery projects. At Equinox , we also identify streams and wetlands that would benefit from restoration or preservation. Drawing on our staff members’ biological, environmental, and agricultural backgrounds, we are noted for our balanced outreach to landowners, and our development of mitigation projects that not only improve ecological function but also meet landowners’ financial needs.

Streams & Wetland Assessments
Federal and state law require the assessment of streams and wetlands because they are protected through the Clean Water Act and other legislation.Prior to developing a property, whether for a park, residential development, or other type of construction project, Equinox can provide an assessment of the streams and wetlands. Equinox will help to identify if a stream or wetland exists on a property , help our clients navigate the permitting process , and/or help reduce impacts that may require permitting.
