Ecological Resources
In light of climate change, habitat loss, pollinator decline, and dwindling natural resources, a new emphasis is being placed on ecosystem services for the many and varied benefits they provide, which need to be protected, conserved, and restored.

Ecological Facts
“G7 leaders … pledged to reverse the loss of global biodiversity and conserve at least 30 percent of global land and marine areas by 2030.”
“The world has lost one-third of its forests since the last ice age.”
Mercer Lake Bank Restoration
E&LP created a bank stabilization and restoration plan at Mercer Lake to protect littoral habitat and park facilities from erosion.
Spring Lake Habitat Enhancement
Spring Lake’s green infrastructure design incorporates bioretention systems in the parking area to improve water quality and enhance wildlife habitat.
Rosedale Lake Harmful Algal Bloom Remediation
E&LP’s civil engineering work at Rosedale Lake is increasingly important for park systems as harmful algal blooms threaten the health of aquatic life in lakes and reservoirs.
“78% of the American public does not understand that runoff from agricultural land, roads, and lawns, is now the most common source of water pollution; and nearly half of Americans (47%) believes industry still accounts for most water pollution.”
Reimagining Resources
Climate
How are we using resources to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change?
Ecological
How are we enhancing, restoring, and protecting existing ecosystems to ensure the long-term health of habitats?
Economic
How are we creating opportunities for clients and local governments to generate economic growth?
Energy
How are we investing and utilizing renewable energy sources to adapt to a changing market?
Social
How do we create resources that connect and strengthen communities?
