SER Ontario Chapter: Collaborations in Urban Riparian Restoration & Site Monitoring

Location: 2100 Labrador Avenue Milton, ON L9E 1N5 Canada

Description: Collaboration is a key component of restoration projects and especially in urban systems. GEI and partners have worked together alongside developers in Milton for restoration and monitoring alongside commercial development. The 5A (Sereda) natural heritage system includes a retained woodland, a realigned stream corridor, a re-created wetland and associated riparian and upland plantings in Milton’s rapidly growing business community. This restoration field trip will share insight into the collaborative undertakings, planning and design process, restoration design efforts, implementation/construction considerations, and early findings of the ongoing ecological monitoring. The field trip will be co-led by the consulting professionals involved throughout the various stages of the project, including GEI Consultants, GEO Morphix, MGM Consultants, DS Consultants, and Jennifer Lawrence and Associates.
