Our Approach
IERS is built upon the recognition that soil forms the foundation of terrestrial ecosystems. We recognize that restoring disturbed areas requires a solid understanding of the soil, plants, hydrology and related functional elements. To that end, we have leveraged our extensive fieldwork as a licensed contractor as well as the data we obtain from targeted field research and project monitoring to develop a process that integrates all aspects of a project, including planning, construction implementation, research-level monitoring, and information transfer. We feel that this process provides the highest level of value to our clients and the ecosystems in which we work, irrespective of industry, location, or purpose.

We use self-organizing natural systems as models for our structure, organizing our resources around project goals and needs rather than pre-determined hierarchies. IERS strongly believes in sharing the results of our work in order to benefit the local, regional and global environmental communities. We strive to educate others and disseminate our findings through practical and useful methods such as publications, handbooks, trainings, facilitated working groups and via our website.

IERS has been successful in filling critical information gaps in restoration practice and continues to plan, develop, monitor and share results of projects based on that increased understanding. We continue to address the limitations of our understanding and will continue to apply our integrated process to critical environmental issues.
