Working together to heal the West

Restorations in Progress

Photo of Field Research EcoResults’ Restorations in Progress are extensions of the successes in our Success Stories section. They use the same tried and proved processes. In some cases they involve the same managers. That’s why we (and you) can have a high degree of confidence in their becoming success stories too.What kind of restorations will EcoResults! offer?

Here are some prospects we are working to bring to you:

Working with a rural Hispano community in New Mexico to return an area of degraded land and watersheds to health and function so it can serve as a source of sustainability for the community.

Returning a barren salt flat in Nevada to the wildlife-sustaining wetland it once was.

Using rangeland restoration to revive a series of springs that once supported a collection of small Hopi farms in northern Arizona.

Working with a consortium of ranchers, environmentalists, scientists, and engineers to tackle the job of revegetating some of the tens of thousands of mine waste piles that comprise one of the West’s most serious land, air and water pollution problems.

Returning any of a number of endangered species of plants and animals to viability and sustainability.

Help a Native American community revegetate lands sterilized by the catastrophic wildfires that swept New Mexico this year.

Use livestock to cycle accumulated pine needles, branches, and other flammable organic materials in fuel-overloaded forests. This will provide an alternative to controlled burning, the currently most-used fuel reduction method, which has started a number of damaging wildfires including the one that destroyed Los Alamos, NM.
