WETLAND IMPROVEMENTS COMING TO THE SOUTH PLATTE RIVER
Westervelt Ecological Services (WES) has received federal approval to improve water quality as well as plant and animal habitat by restoring wetlands on 109 acres in Morgan County, near the banks of the South Platte River just outside the City of Fort Morgan.
Flexing Mussel Populations
Westervelt, along with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, placed 335 federally threatened orangenacre muckets — mussels — into the creek with hopes of revitalizing a near-extinct species.
WES finds endangered plant species in the thousands after successful translocation!
In September 2020, WES translocated seed and soil for Boggs Lake hedge-hyssop (Gratiola heterosepala) to our Markham Ravine Mitigation Site in Placer County, CA.

WES begins 2022 with a renewed focus. We have new staff. We have new projects. We even have a new website. There are many new challenges, but we see new opportunities.
