Limnoterra Limited has established a highly respected reputation with more than twenty years experience in an inter-agency, ecosystem approach to planning where ecological enhancement opportunities are created through the development process. Existing natural areas are rehabilitated and enhanced to complement development, thereby stimulating economic growth. Limnoterra Limited projects have been functioning as predicted for nearly two decades and are cited by agencies as the best working examples of this type of approach to planning.

Incorporating the enhanced natural areas into a development proposal is beneficial in many ways. The time required for components of the system to recover from the effects of construction is significantly reduced. The cost savings experienced through enhancing vegetative and wildlife communities at the time of construction is considerable since most of the machinery and soils are on site. Concrete and othe channel linings break down over a relatively short period of time. Constructing sustainable ecosystems and natural channels at the time of construction far outweighs costs of removing purely engineered solutions and repairing the ecosystem in the future.

Studies and assessments that lead to our involvement in the design stage of development planning are undertaken with a holistic viewpoint. Positive, negative and residual impacts on an ecosystem are considered and alternative methods of development are recommended through an inter-agency and public participatory approach. The recommendations explored through scientific analysis of site data facilitates the natural processes to continue in an ecosystem. Our recommendations for new communities are made with respect to the environmental, economic, and logistically preferred alternative. We endeavour to make sure all of the technically feasible alternatives are open and available for consideration during the design process.

Using the inter-agency, ecosystem approach to planning, we are continually developing new concepts and innovative projects to remain at the forefront of environmental consulting with an ecosystem approach to planning. At Limnoterra Limited, our team of professionals emphasizes the production of high quality work based on functional and feasible environmental principals. We offer expertise in fisheries and aquatic habitat, wildlife and terrestrial habitat, wetland's biology, ecology, forestry, botany, ecology, limnology, hydrology and hydrogeology. We are able to supplement any project, on any scale, with our in-house disciplines and professional associations.
