Case Study: New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife restores Kittatinny Valley State Park with Davey Resource Group

New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife restores 90.47-acre Kittatinny Valley State Park with Davey

The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife sought to restore and enhance a 90-acre former agricultural property within Kittatinny Valley State Park to natural wetland and riparian habitats. Their challenge was to reverse historical drainage impacts and permanently replace lost wetland functions, requiring complex environmental planning and permitting. They partnered with Davey Resource Group for comprehensive environmental consulting and ecosystem restoration services.

Davey Resource Group handled the entire project, from initial wetland delineations and endangered species surveys to securing all necessary state permits. They then designed and implemented the restoration, including construction, excavation, and long-term monitoring. The solution successfully reestablished natural hydrology, provided public fishing and trail access, and earned regional ecological awards. Davey's work directly supported the customer's mission to protect wildlife habitats while achieving mandated mitigation goals.
