Our team has been hard at work potting bare root stock and liners, which are young trees and shrubs harvested without soil around their roots or in small starter containers. These plants are carefully potted to give them the space and nutrients they need to grow into healthy, native plants. 🌱

So far this year, our top five species sold to wholesale customers are Black Willow, Northern Red Oak, Sycamore, Serviceberry, and Buttonbush. It's exciting to see so many native species making their way into restoration and landscaping projects throughout the region!

Before restoration, this unnamed tributary to Bald Eagle Creek was experiencing severe bank erosion, channel instability, and unrestricted cattle access. Completed in 2023, this project helped bring the stream back to a more natural and stable condition while continuing to support the farm's operations.

The project included more than 2,100 linear feet of stream restoration, wetland creation and enhancement, over 4 acres of riparian buffer planting, livestock exclusion fencing, stream crossings, and repairs to an existing farm pond.

By reconnecting the stream to its floodplain and restoring natural stream functions, the project is reducing erosion, improving wildlife habitat, and helping keep sediment and nutrients out of local waterways and the Chesapeake Bay.

We're proud to have partnered with the York County Conservation District on a project that benefits both the environment and working agricultural lands.

A lot goes into planning a shoreline restoration project before construction ever begins. Recently, our team was out in the field studying existing wetlands, shoreline conditions, and tidal patterns to help guide the design of a proposed marsh creation project.

We analyzed soils to look for wetland indicators, identified signs of Mean High Water along the shoreline, and mapped existing tidal wetlands to better understand the natural systems already in place. All of this information helps us design marsh habitats that fit naturally within the site and protect the resources already there.

No two shorelines are the same, which is why field work like this is such an important part of the process.

Great to see so many impactful restoration projects taking shape across the Chester and Sassafras watersheds. We’re proud to partner with organizations like ShoreRivers to help bring these projects to life!

Protecting water quality is crucial to every coastal stabilization project. One tool we use to help minimize environmental impacts is a turbidity curtain, a floating barrier designed to contain sediment disturbed during in-water construction activities.

By setting up these barriers around our work zones, we can keep suspended particles from spreading into nearby waterways and fragile coastal habitats. This gives sediment a chance to settle before it travels farther, which protects aquatic life and helps us keep water quality high throughout the project. 🌊

Implementing measures like turbidity curtains is one of the many ways Ecotone works to balance effective shoreline stabilization with environmental stewardship.

Ecotone is now a Restored Ecologies company.

We've been restoring streams, wetlands, and shorelines in the Mid-Atlantic since 1998. For the past two years, we've been working alongside Wilkinson Ecological Design in New England under a shared parent company. Now we have one brand that makes it visible.

The work doesn't change. The people don't change. What's new is the name, and a clearer picture of what we bring to every project: one team, Maine to Virginia, built to design, build, permit, and steward from start to finish.

If you've known us for stream restoration, there's more we do. Coastal stabilization, wetland work, invasive management, native plants. All under the same roof.

We rebuild ecological integrity, one shoreline, one stream, one plant at a time.
