Ecological Restoration Services
RES' Ecological Restoration Services division (ERS) offers clients a wealth of technical knowledge and experience. Led by Ronald Gremillion, our Vice President of Land Management, our team can manage the construction and ongoing maintenance of large and small projects alike.
Equipped with the necessary resources needed for the reforestation of wetlands, ERS provides all services necessary to implement the project as detailed in the ecological restoration plan. This includes site evaluation, preparation, plant identification, tree planting, and post planting maintenance such as noxious and invasive species control. ERS also performs all necessary work to implement appropriate hydrology restoration measures including water control structures, ditch plugs, filling ditches and/or drains, and rehabilitation of stream channels.
Our restoration services provide significant improvement to aquatic resources and watershed functions by restoring wildlife habitat, enhancing water quality of the general area, providing floodwater retention benefits and contributing to the protection of groundwater.
We also have the expertise to restore aquatic linear systems through stream channel restoration, bank stabilization, stream habitat recovery, impoundment removal, livestock exclusion devices and natural buffer establishment.

Nursery Operations
We operate a rapidly expanding marsh nursery near Point Aux Chene, Louisiana supplying several species of coastal grasses and plants to commercial clients, municipalities, parishes, counties, state and federal agencies to aid their restorative efforts along the Gulf Coast. The ERS team uses proper marsh planting equipment allowing us to cultivate and transplant marsh grasses for the restoration of tidal and non-tidal marsh.
