      <image:title>Past Projects - Pleasant Grove Riparian Reforestation, Ocean County, NJ</image:title>
      <image:caption>Aqua-niche completed reforestation on this 40+ acre site in 2012. Plantings included container and bareroot material. In addition to plantings, we were responsible for constructing 8' tall deer fence around the entire site. The first year of monitoring indicated a very high survival and success rate.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Past Projects - Rose Garden Dam Removal, Cumberland County, PA</image:title>
      <image:caption>For this project Aqua-niche was responsible for landscape design consultation and landscape installation. After the removal of a large dam, the exposed areas were reforested with large B&amp;B trees. We also installed a mulch walking trail on the other side of the creek for fishing and other recreational access.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Past Projects - Ribes missouriense (Missouri Gooseberry) Transplanting, Adams County, PA</image:title>
      <image:caption>In order to complete a nearby facility expansion a population of this Pennsylvania threatened plant species had to be transplanted. Aqua-niche was hired to assess the existing population, assess and determine adequate transplant sites, develop and obtain approval for transplanting methodologies, complete the transplanting, and monitor the transplanted community for 5 years. Having successfully completed the transplanting we are currently in the monitoring phase. Our first year of monitoring indicated a 98% survival rate. The expertise provided by Aqua-niche on this project allowed the expansion project to proceed and meet all conservation goals.</image:caption>
