The Southeastern United States was once a complex mosaic of numerous, distinct ecosystems. Meandering creeks made their way through bottomland hardwood forests and wet meadows. These bottomlands eventually transitioned into oak, hickory, and pine savanna and woodlands as the elevation increased. These expansive forested ecosystems also housed patchworks of limestone glades, prairies, barrens, and mesic forests. All of these unique ecosystems and more once existed harmoniously all across the Southeast.

Today, these landscapes are vastly altered by mankind. While superb examples of these ecosystems still exist today, a majority of these areas suffer from mismanagement, future development, and fragmentation. Invasive, non-native plant species also are outcompeting native plant species for resources in these ecosystems.

At Coosa Ecological, we strive to rehabilitate and restore ecosystems back to a healthy, functional, and biodiverse state. By analyzing scientific and historical data, we can formulate a site-specific management plan to achieve positive effects in all levels of the biosphere. We work with private landowners, businesses, and governmental agencies to promote restoration and conservation across the Southeast.
