Marten's Property: Reforestation Planting

Project Manager: Chris Mourlas
Client: Toll Brothers
Completion Date: July 31, 2006
Original Contract Amount: $234,761.00
Project Duration: May 24, 2006 to July 31, 2006


Toll Brothers contracted Environmental Quality Resources,LLC to reforest an area in Montgomery County. Approximately 5,300 native plants including trees, shrubs, and grasses were implemented on the site based on their hydrologic requirements. Before installation of the new plants could begin, EQR conducted an invasive species control of the area to remove all existing non-native plant material.

Factors including 100-year-flood conditions and beavers damaged the initial installation of plants and interpretive signage prompting additional costs and repairs. EQR resolved these issues and installed more plant material to increase biodiversity and today it is a well-established, forested wetland.
