Restoration Planning
RECON’s in-depth know-how of the restoration processes required to make each project a success gives us an inherent understanding of how to plan for successful restoration. We provide plans that are implementable, designed to meet agenciesâ€� requirements, and work ÑÇÐǹú¼Ê¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾in the local jurisdictional framework for mitigation and restoration planning.
Project Example: Sorrento Prestige Restoration Site
Focus: Habitat mitigation for development
Location: San Diego, CA
Habitat Type: Coastal sage scrub
Implementation: Irrigation system and container plants
Maintenance: Five-year maintenance and monitoring
This three-acre coastal sage scrub mitigation project is in the community of Carmel Valley, in the city of San Diego, California. Restoration involved dethatching, installation of an overhead irrigation system, a grow-and-kill cycle to reduce the invasive species in the seed bank, and native plant installation followed by a five-year maintenance and monitoring period. The previously disturbed land ÑÇÐǹú¼Ê¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ little habitat value now supports a diverse coastal sage scrub ecosystem, including species like the endangered coastal California gnatcatcher.
