Coexistence Based Beaver Management. Never heard of it? It’s what sets Ecotone apart from other environmental construction companies. Ecotone’s philosophy is “Think Like a Mountain,” in that every person has an impact on the environment, big or small. They tackle projects – stormwater management, reforestation, wetland restoration, beaver management – in a holistic way with a positive impact.

And they use STACK to get it done! 

It is illegal to relocate beavers in many states without a lengthy permit process. The only other solution is to trap and kill the species. Ecotone is changing that by looking into the future of environmental restoration and using beavers as engineers – with the help of STACK. Whether it’s to restore a watershed or change high-velocity flows, a family of beavers can do the work instead of mobilizing an entire construction operation – with zero impact and at a fraction of the cost. 

However, if beavers are creating a problem like flooding, Ecotone provides a service to regulate water levels with a flow device. That’s one of the places where STACK shines. Art Garcia, an estimator at Ecotone, says, “I do GIS mapping on-site, and when I get back to the office, I use that and my field observations in STACK to take measurements for where we’re going to put in the control device, get quantities, and submit the proposal.”
