Integrated Restorations, LLC is a full-service consulting and contracting firm serving public and private lands in the Midwestern United States since 2007. Integrated was founded on the principle that successful land management must be a process-oriented, whole-system approach. Our unique approach blends the most current ecological concepts and empirical research with multiple concerted and properly sequenced practices. The use of multiple sequenced practices synergizes the natural dynamic elements of an ecological system, accelerating the recovery process to enhance habitat quality and achieve land management objectives and project targets while simultaneously reducing long-term costs.
