Wetland Nursery Services

E.R.C.'s involvement with resource areas creation extends back into the '60s with the construction of a family wildlife refuge. Our original firm - FARM VENTURES - is generally recognized as one of the world's only design firm for fish farms, wildlife refuges, and hydroponic greenhouses. The principal of E.R.C. - Mark Howland - grew up in a family greenhouse business, which gave him an unique knowledge into the demands and culture of plants.

All this knowledge translates into well-designed and well-planned replication or restoration areas for wetland and wildlife resource areas. E.R.C. offers complete services in this regard from the design plan needed for permitting, to the construction services, and finally to the progress inspections. We can work with either proposed wetland crossings for development, after-the-fact situations, restoration of illegally filled areas, wildlife shrub barriers from development, nature trails, wildlife refuges, water gardens, and other natural resource areas - all as far as the imagination takes one.

Contact E.R.C. today. We understand what local permitting boards are looking for. We can build the areas needed to allow a project to go forward when your contractor's knowledge is sparse in that area. We can repair the damage from illegal or unintended activities. We can create the refuge areas needed for wetland species and wildlife.

Also helpful is the availability of wetlands and wildlife nursery stock from BioMass Farms. Headquartered in Lakeville, MA., our 6 nurseries across New England provide us with a vast array of plants, and other materials for creations of nature. Contact either E.R.C. at 1-800-899-2025 or BioMass Farms at 1-800-7WETLAN (1-800-793-8526)

Though we are most famous for our stormwater mitigation structure - the EPA award winning Howland Swale, and our erosion control product BioFence that also won an EPA award, ERC has a full line of wetland protection products to complement our services.

Mosquito control, wetland crafts, slope stabilization blankets and mats, wildflower seeds, farm runoff control products, pumps, wetland art, and many more items are but a few of the ways ERC can assist your project and needs.
