Lending A Hand To Restore Wetlands
Davey Resource Group, Inc. (DRG) was subcontracted by Sunram Construction to oversee the native vegetation installation and management of a seven-acre wetland restoration project in Chanhassen, MN.
Sunram Construction completed all site construction and grading, including removing existing infrastructure and building a new stormwater control structure and ponds.
After construction, DRG began preparing the site for native seed installation, which included a combination of herbicide treatments and prescribed burning. In spring 2022, DRG installed native seed and all tree and shrub plantings.
Planting The Seeds Of Success
