Case Study: Manson Construction Company protects threatened coastal species with Davey Resource Group

Manson Construction Company protects threatened species along 1.6 miles of New Jersey shoreline with Davey

Davey Resource Group, a division of Davey Tree, was contracted by Manson Construction Company, Inc. to provide environmental monitoring during a critical beach replenishment project in New Jersey. The challenge was to proceed with construction along 1.6 miles of shoreline while ensuring strict compliance with state and federal endangered species laws and protecting the habitat of several rare, threatened, and endangered species.

The solution involved Davey Resource Group biologists creating and executing a detailed habitat management plan, followed by extensive construction monitoring services. Over three years, they conducted over 120 days of surveys, protecting species like the piping plover and seabeach amaranth. Their work ensured full regulatory compliance and even contributed to the successful fledging of an American oystercatcher chick, as highlighted in a local news article.
