Our 2020 environmental restoration efforts have been in full force. Thus far this year, the Wildlands team has restored a total of 48,000 linear feet of stream across seven different project sites, all up along the east coast.
The Wildlands Team enjoyed partnering with Resource Institute to restore the stream that runs through the Veterans Healing Farm. This project is much more that improving a stream, it provides a serene opportunity for veterans to connect with nature and reflect on their mission to serve others and the environment.

Through our One+One Initiative, Wildlands’ Raleigh team recently spent the day giving back with Habitat for Humanity of Wake County. The team was excited to work on Habitat’s new multi-family town-home community where they helped to complete the framework. Nicole Millns, a senior water resources engineer, shares what the day meant to her, “We love partnering with Habitat! It’s a great opportunity to get our hands dirty and work together with other volunteers to build affordable housing for families in our local community. Often times, we get to meet the future homeowners and share in not only the sweat equity but the joy of building their home together.”
We are honored to announce that our Reedy Creek Stream Restoration Design-Build project was awarded the 2019 APWA-NC Stormwater Project of the Year in the category of Natural Systems! The selection committee was “impressed by the overall scope and success of the project.”
Wildlands served as the prime consultant for the Reedy Creek Stream Restoration Design-Build project, which was the first design-build project to generate stream and wetland mitigation units for the City of Charlotte Umbrella Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank.
