RES is proud to announce our Restoring at Scale Docuseries – highlighting landscape-scale ecological restoration projects designed and constructed by the RES team to re-wild impacted lands across our nation. These mega-scale projects are restoring wildlife and ecological habitats to offset massive infrastructure projects such as reservoirs, high-speed rail, dam removal, and road construction, as well as to support coastal resiliency. Our goal is to share the ongoing progress and lessons learned from these mega projects with industry colleagues. We also hope to raise awareness around what can and will be done in the future. As we’ve recognized the benefits of more holistic design, we are learning to maximize ecological functions to support and restore the web of our natural world even as we achieve multiple social and economic benefits from these important projects. Over the coming months and years, this docuseries will cover a diverse array of projects, being implemented across the country from the Chesapeake Bay to the Gulf States to California.

About us
Ecological restoration has punched through to the next scale in project size. In a handful of sites across the country, we’re restoring land areas the size of Manhattan Island and streams that stretch for 10, 20 or even 40 miles. These projects break new ground in many ways. They support ambitious and needed large infrastructure projects, such as new reservoirs for drinking water, road or rail expansions, or coastal resiliency. And they allow multi-disciplinary teams, guided by ecological sciences, to improve the overall functioning of an entire watershed instead of being limited to a few dozen acres of habitat. Restoring at Scale acts as a project journal for this important work. It’s a docu-series capturing the practical experiences of our teams as we take proven industry techniques to the next scale. We’ll chronicle these projects through design, build, and beyond. In doing so, we hope to showcase how science-led decisions enable effective engineering and project economics, as well as robust, self-sustaining ecosystems and great outcomes for the surrounding communities.
