WATERSHED & HABITAT RESTORATION

Photo

At the foundation of every successful restoration effort is the strengthening of the physical processes that drive ecosystem change.

Restoring functional physical landscape processes, growing and planting native plants, and supporting springs and pollinators are just some of the vital activities in our work, but they remain incomplete without a third essential step: forging and maintaining bonds between people and the natural world, and providing opportunities for each to flourish in tandem.

​Founded by Borderlands Restoration L3C, the Watershed
 and Habitat Restoration Program is now a collaborative program of Borderlands Restoration, L3C and Borderlands Restoration Network, 501c3, which work together through arm's length contracts that maintain separation of legal entities.


OUR APPROACH TO RESTORATION


Over the past decade BRN has developed a unique approach to ecosystem restoration based on the experiences of Cuenca los Ojos and other restoration efforts in the region.

RESTORING PHYSICAL PROCESSES

Using hand and machine built rock structures, our restoration efforts slow the flow of water and stabilize creeks, increase infiltration, and allow sediments to accumulate. Despite the drought conditions of the past decade, streams are once again flowing and vegetation and wildlife are returning to sites where this work has been completed, such as at Cuenca los Ojos.

REBUILDING HABITAT & FOOD SHEDS

Using the decades of experience held by our botanists in the Native Plant Materials Program, we design restoration plantings to focus on supporting at-risk pollinators. Working with plants designed to fill temporal gaps in the nectar landscape support the food chain from the bottom - up.
