Ecological Restoration and Land Management to Support Consent Conditions and Long-Term Environmental Outcomes
Our restoration and land management services focus on restoring, enhancing, and maintaining ecological values across a wide range of environments, including sites subject to resource consent conditions. We work on projects involving indigenous vegetation, degraded land, riparian margins, and areas of ecological significance where active management is required to achieve positive ecological outcomes.
These services are often implemented following an Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) or as part of an Ecological Management Plan (EMP), translating assessment findings into practical, on-the-ground results.
Effective weed and invasive pest plant control is critical to the success of ecological restoration and long-term land management. We provide targeted control programmes addressing species such as gorse, pampas, blackberry, and other invasive plants that threaten indigenous ecosystems.
Our approach is site-specific and considers ecological sensitivity, surrounding land use, and long-term restoration objectives. Weed control is commonly required as part of consent mitigation, offset planting, or ongoing management obligations.
We support landowners and developers in meeting ecological consent conditions through structured land management programmes. This may include staged restoration works, vegetation protection measures, and ongoing site management to ensure ecological values are maintained or enhanced over time.
Our services are designed to align with planning requirements under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) and relevant regional or district plans, providing confidence that ecological commitments are being met in a practical and defensible manner.
Restoration is most successful when supported by ongoing maintenance and monitoring. We provide long-term land management support, including follow-up weed control, vegetation monitoring, and adaptive management to respond to site conditions as they evolve.
Where required, our suitably qualified and experienced ecologists (SQEP) can integrate restoration works with monitoring and reporting programmes to demonstrate compliance with consent conditions and support continuous ecological improvement.
