Ecological Services is focused on resolving challenges posed by more people moving to urban centers and associated pressures on the ecosystems we depend on as a society. Our Ecological Services practice is built on our commitment to creating higher-functioning, lower-maintenance systems for all to enjoy while providing opportunities for responsible development. This approach has been successfully applied across public- and private-sector projects on landscapes ranging from less than an acre to hundreds of acres. Joshua brings an ecological orientation to all project types, including housing developments, park design, green infrastructure, transportation, and more, resulting in the protection and restoration or enhancement of critical natural systems.
