Great Ecology was engaged by a confidential client to develop conceptual plans that address habitat mitigation requirements for a proposed sand mine in San Diego County both during mine operations and post reclamation. The landscape concepts developed would promote visual and auditory buffering during mining operations, while also increasing perimeter biodiversity. After mining operations were complete, Great Ecology proposed a sculptural restoration concept that would increase habitat value and community access to the restored site. This featured an undulating landscape design that proposes several different high-low elevation planting communities, with fire strategic species embedded in each zone. As of 2024, Great Ecology continues to provide ecological and design consultation services as the project advances.
