WATER CYCLE RESTORATION  |  HABITAT CREATION
Earth Ecology supports inspired and aspiring earth stewards to design and craft ecosystems, in service to the waters, the plants, the critters, and the art that the land inspires in us. 
Beaver dam analogues and bank stabalization.
Water is life, and we love life. Water cycle restoration is one of our biggest motivators, and is the point of departure for all of our interventions. We are profesionally certified by Water Stories / Zach Weiss. We utilize context appropriate restoration interventions, which may include: rain gardens, ponds, spring tapping, water conveyance terraces, beaver dam analogues, one rock dams, bank stabilization and erosion control, rock spillways,  and more.

Diversity of species ensures a healthy, stable, yet dynamic and evolving ecosystem. We are total plant geeks and have been known to “cramscape” with local and regionally native, rare plant selections. 
We are enthralled with the ecosystems of our home on the West Coast, US. Our designs emulate and remix our observations from the wild.
Views from in habitat:
We believe healthy human habitats can coexist with nature in a holistically integrated way. Our ecosystem designs almost always include some edible aspects. Farms that integrate the agro-ecological strategies we practice benefit from enhanced resilience, higher total yield, and are seen as leaders in the field of Regenerative Agriculture. Our farming experience affords us a unique design approach for home scale systems, and a practiced and experienced take on total farm planning.
