RESTORATION PLANNING SERVICES

Comprehensive planning
for your native plant restoration project

We can prepare a variety of planning documents to help make your project successful, including:

Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) are extremely important to any successful restoration project.  Let us help you develop a plan that will ensure vigilant oversight of your project, and swift and accurate correction of any defects. 

QA/QC Plans include, at a minimum: 

  • A description of the inspection system for each task;

  • A clear description of quality standards and expectations for each task;

  • A description of the methods to be used for identifying and preventing defects in task quality;

  • A detailed procedure for reporting any issues or potential issues with work quality, to ensure a timely response;

  • Inspection records to be used during quality control inspections, and to document corrective or preventative actions.

Native Plant Restoration Plans

It pays to get us involved early in the planning phases of a restoration project. Long before any ground clearing or construction activity begins,
Riley Consulting can assess site conditions and construction plans, help determine restoration needs and goals, identify opportunities for native plant material salvage and collection, propose site preparation and revegetation strategies, and offer long-term monitoring and maintenance approaches.

Our Native Plant Restoration Plans are tailored to the client’s particular needs and objectives, but typically include:

  • Recommendations for site preparation, soil amendments, plant salvage, and weed control;

  • Planting designs;

  • Appropriate seed mixes for the site;

  • Site-specific native species lists for planting;

  • Recommended installation techniques;

  • Browse protection and maintenance strategies;

  • Maps, photos and detailed drawings.

Riley Consulting also offers on-site project consultation for implementing native plant restoration plans, to ensure that client goals and plan specifications are achieved.

Noxious Weed Control Plans

Noxious weeds are by far the biggest challenge to native plant restoration. At Riley Consulting, we believe that preventing the introduction and spread of weeds into disturbed areas is of utmost importance to a successful project. If you are anticipating a native plant restoration project, we can provide you with a comprehensive weed control plan that includes:

  • Preemptive management strategies;

  • Recommendations for construction practices to minimize weed introduction and spread;

  • Identification and maps of resident weed populations;

  • Recommended eradication strategies (chemical, manual, and mechanical);

  • Post-construction weed monitoring schedules.

Riley Consulting also performs weed surveys and on-site consultations for pre- and post-construction weed control. We also perform weed surveys and on-site consultations for pre- and post-construction weed control.
