Environmental Quality Resources, LLC Living Shorelines Innovative approaches are necessary as our coastal communities and shorelines are facing more powerful storms and accelerated sea level rise along with precipitation changes. There are many challenges and risks changing old shoreline protection measures such as armor stone or wood bulkheads to ecologically vibrant stable natural designs. Evidence shows that during major storms, a living, natural shoreline performs better than hardened shorelines. EQR specializes in shoreline construction when the site can be accessed by land. We appreciate the softer environmental techniques, but understand the need for harder techniques in high energy systems, similar to our stream projects. Techniques we have installed are breakwaters, stone revetments, stone sills and groins and sand fill wetlands and native plants in living shorelines. These shoreline approaches have many benefits such as, reducing wave energy, reduce flooding, filter runoff, storing carbon, purifying water, trap sediment, and habitat creation for birds, fish, crabs and other aquatic species.

Environmental Quality Resources, LLC Native Landscaping & Reforestation Native Landscaping: For over 26 years EQR has planted over 3 million native plant species to enhance our restoration projects. Native plant species, including pollinators, preserve our natural heritage and provide food and habitat for insects, birds, amphibians, and mammals throughout the growing season. Reforestation: EQR has planted over 3 million and understands the tremendous value that trees provide to the local ecology and our community. They are the largest plants on earth, they give us oxygen, absorb stormwater, stabilize soils, store carbon, remove contaminants from the air and water and give life to billions of other species. It is not an easy task to manage new forests in suburban and urban centers with both physical and biological stressors. But good planting techniques, high quality plants and animal protection measures dramatically increase the success of the new forests. BACK TO SERVICES CALL US CONNECT WITH US!
