Testimonials
- The Wildscape team, for the Upper Truckee River Reach 5, has proved to be very effective and knowledgeable about the latest innovations for restoration design, including revegetation and geomorphology. Carol has shown dedication to this project, and a willingness to collaborate with the various project partners to produce a highly innovative, biotechnical restoration design.
- Carol’s performance on this large and challenging project, including the export of several thousand yards of excess fill off the site through a dense urban setting was simply exceptional and exceeded the State of CA’s expectations for construction management. From the award of the construction contract through completion of the wetlands restoration Carol made significant contributions to the planning, management and ultimate success of this project.
