Understanding ecological systems and the species they support is critical to restoration, enabling the development and addition of habitats that support the important life stages of the species present.  Scott brings this understanding to his work, drawing on years spent surveying streams and fish populations across the Mountain West and decades working with anadromous and resident species in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska.  Whether it’s the sediment transport dynamics that shape the stream’s pattern and dimensions to create off-channel habitats or the hydraulics that keep those dark pools under the willows clear, Scott will ensure the fish have a voice in the final product.  As a project manager specializing in restoration design and implementation, Scott delivers innovative projects that maximize the site’s intrinsic potential while preserving a nature-built feel.
