Stream Consulting Services
Ecosystems that Recycle & Nest
Streams circulate life throughout our Pacific Northwest land- and aquascapes. One key circulatory agent are our rare and endangered salmonids. The nutrients that salmon bring from the sea are recycled in upland environments. While in streams, salmon build redds in the cool, clean waters for their eggs.
Once the eggs hatch small fry will grow strong, sheltered by streamside plants in the shallows before returning to the ocean.
Sound Native Plants is committed to supporting endangered species recovery. Stream restoration is a huge portion of this work. We intentionally utilize nature-based solutions to reduce impacts on fragile stream ecosystems.
Examples of stream ecosystems:
- Salmon-bearing streams
- Estuary inputs
- Culverts & channels
- Riparian forest flood zones
Sound Native Plants has restored streams for more than 30 years. Our services include bank stabilization and riparian habitat improvements. We design streambank projects that stabilize eroding banks and improve fish habitat simultaneously, using bioengineering techniques.
Our consultants have decades of experience working along streams. Whether you have a channel to redirect or want to bolster habitat, our crews can help!
All of our consultation services are backed by over 30 years of research and practical experience. Along with our knowledgeable partners, we bring long-lasting ecosystem services to your landscape.
